Featured poss silver old persian? footed pot

interesting little charity shop find today
cant guarantee its silver, could be a tinned or silver plated copper. but have a feeling it is silver
its a bit like the old begging bowl i found in terms of style
what would it be a salt, or sugar pot? missing lid?
hopefully Aj, wouldnt mind having a look, as she knew exactly the age and origin of the the beggars bowl

@Any Jewelry

any other help or thoughts are appreciated as well

 

Gorgeous. Anglo Indian, from Kutch in NW India.

 

I feel it rather Indian than Persian, AJ will know for sure!

 

Ha! I knew @Any Jewelry would spot it

 

Awesome thanks Aj, honestly the things I have benefited from your wisdom

Hope I didn't disturb you by the way

 

You didn't, I was awake.

 

I like the little cow hoof ? Feet

 

So do I. Like it's about to walk off.

 

If it did walk, I can image a little drunkard wobble/stagger for some reason

 

Ditto.

 

You're killin' it this week Charlie ! Anybody know the exact purpose of this little handled cup ?

 

Probably sugar.
Part of a set, but pieces often end up separated from their siblings.

 

With picking its always feast or famine. You're feasting the last couple of weeks Charlie.

 

I agree mate, I say get out there and throw the dice when you are on a roll

Before the inevitable tumbleweed starts rolling by period

 

There's a millionaire (owns half of the town) antiques dealer in our town and he was showing me an amber snuff box he bought off an old lady for £200, said I could have it for £500. ( worth over £1000 he reckoned)

I politely declined

Turns out the old lady robbed him

Went for $41 ! Did you recognize the box as clinker right off ?
PS-Sad thing is in our Ebay world,a piece could actually be worth a grand til 4 more pop-up online next week.
Theoretically just doubling yr money isn't enough insurance these days,w/ market fluctuations it's almost as bad as being a day trader.

 

To be honest mate, no !

 

It did look quite nice, and passed the Amber uv test

 

I get it-200 pounds still a lot of money,$50 still means something to me.

 

This is what they look like

But they are a pressed molded amber
