Is anything stamped on the underside of the base ?? If you could take a pic of the bottom it would help !!

These are new but you can see similar form !! These are typically called dolphins and have been used many years !! Many are Chinese origin !! Yours as far as I can tell ( no one has come back to give additional information) are probably about 1940`s or so !!
