Does anyone know what this mystery object is? Not very old, I would think 60s, 70s, or even newer. Material is silver plated, well finished and high quality and a nice turned wood base. Weight 3,4 kg, height 55 cm, width of top arm 31 cm. There is a silver (plate) mark, and the word Almazan – this is mainly used for brass objects, not silver plate. Extensive internet searches have only yielded one silver plated vase with this mark, I can not find other similar objects (it is not a wine decanter!) nor information about the maker. Also posts in different Facebook antiques/vintage groups has not had any results.
Thank you for your help Martha, that is great. Indeed the mark is Spanish and I had also found that Sarreid has a lot of products in brass that are manufactured in Almazan, Spain. It is all very intriguing but I still have no indication what the object is used for…maybe we will have some luck on the other antiques form where you kindly posted the question.
