witchantiques.com has dated this piece to the Georgian era.
After surviving a lifetime off use, it is peppered with knocks and bruises and was probably buffed up in the 1960/70s when brass and copper enjoyed a boom period. Although it could be used for many things, logs and flower arrangements seem to be the most popular. Cleaned and given a lick with 'Brasso' it is now ready to use and enjoy.
