    Hi all, any idea what this would be? I would think rather common, but nice features.
    Any ideas most welcome. Thanks

    It is Burmese. It is called 'thabeik'. No specific purpose.

    There you go. As clear an example of prescience as you'll ever see.

    They usually are. Maybe if Kevin gives it a polish?

    I only do IDs, if I can. But I'm sure google knows.;)
    Late 19th-early 20th century.
    A thabeik is originally a monk's begging bowl, but these are purely ornamental, mostly made for British colonials.
    A bargain!

    I would look for a 'sunshine' cloth. It works wonders and doesn't leave ugly polish residue in the crevices.
