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.
Hi! I’m from Martha’s other site.
I could really use a few more pictures of your piece. Need to know what the little “cup” holder looks like looking down into it. Does it have any holes other than the top opening? Does it have any grooves or wear marks? What are the dimensions of the cup?
Also, are there 2 loops on the right side? Are there any wear marks on the hoop?
What is your history with this item?
There are several ways you could go with this item as a possibility but it appears you are missing pieces no matter which way you go.
