silver inkwell ?
of this silver item I don't know use, origin and age. It's a container with silver lid connected by a chain to the handle. On the botton there's '800' hallmark (800/1000 silver purity degree) and another mark with a lion. About its use a lot of hypothesis may be done: alcohol burner, brandy warmer, inkwell ...... If you have informations about this item you may email me at giobuse1@tin.it This item is 7 in. long (cm. 18) and was bought in an Antiques Market in Italy.
This item is not for sale, but most of my pieces were bought through the Internet. On the right bar of this page there are some links to silver and antique dealers websites
