It's about 24-32 ounces. From handle tip to handle tip about 7 inches, and the bowl is about 3.5 inches in diameter.

Jan 15th, 2012 at 2:12:06 AM PST by

I just think it is a pretty piece. Bid and fanned.

fanned and watching

thank you ever so much. This piece is a real puzzle! lol Whoever gets it, i hope it is used to the fullest! It is unique and some have come up with some good ideas what it could be. Thank you!

This is what the old folks used to call a salt cellar or a salt well !!!
Back before they had salt shakers, they used to put the salt in these little bowls and you would use a small spoon and dip the salt out and sprinkle it on you food !!!

Jan 13th, 2012 at 9:55:56 PM PST by

Oh i have seen those little spoons! I didnt know what they were. I thought maybe they were used for baby.. Salt cellar or potpourri vessel. hmmm, what a great idea!

Jan 14th, 2012 at 9:56:13 AM PST by

Oh, and here's my guess as to what it is... It's a "wet" potpourri vessel. Anyone can look it up and see that this is how the not so pretty potpourri was contained. :) I'm bidding and fanned ya!

Jan 13th, 2012 at 8:24:23 PM PST by

thank you! It makes sense that it very well could be a potpourri vessel. The lid is so ornate and no one would even know where the scent is coming from! lol I appreciate you telling me!

Jan 14th, 2012 at 9:53:45 AM PST by

I agree, it's a nice item and silver or plated, it's still a nice item. No worries!! Have fun! :)

Jan 13th, 2012 at 8:21:59 PM PST by

thank you so much. I think it is pretty.

Jan 14th, 2012 at 9:51:12 AM PST by

Though solid silver would be much more valuable, I have to say, this is still a very nice piece whether it is silver or silver plated.

Jan 13th, 2012 at 3:55:07 PM PST by

thank you, i thought it was too! Its unusual and I just wish she was here to tell me more about it..

Jan 14th, 2012 at 9:50:39 AM PST by

it almost looks like white brass. I think a picture of the markings would help this auction greatly!

Jan 12th, 2012 at 6:31:44 PM PST by

I've had it tested and it is silver, I think the flash on the camera affected the color of it a bit, I'll put up a picture of the marking tomorrow morning.

Jan 12th, 2012 at 6:48:20 PM PST by

Could you take a picture of the mark on the bottom.....that says silver...please...thank you...watching

Jan 12th, 2012 at 5:17:58 PM PST by

The mark doesn't say silver, but I have had it tested and it is silver. I'll put up a picture of the mark in the morning.

Jan 12th, 2012 at 6:45:24 PM PST by

forgive me if i have mislead anyone. It was not intentional. If you get it and you dont want it..send it back. I really dont mind..this was not an intentional. If you want i can try to pull this piece, if you have bid on it.

**About the marking**

Tried getting a picture of the markings but the quality isn't there to the point where it is legible, it clearly reads BENEDICT 1918 though.

Jan 12th, 2012 at 6:52:25 PM PST by

thank you for your input! It is appreciated very much

Jan 17th, 2012 at 5:41:05 AM PST by

Thank you all for bidding on this piece.I told one lady if i had kept it, i would have used as a centerpiece. Put a small votive candle in it, and soften the atmosphere when hubby and i have a dinner for just him and i.

Jan 18th, 2012 at 5:04:59 AM PST by

I have a Benedict tray......my tray is silver plated and has some of the same designs that your's has....very nice piece....not worth too much but still very nice...

Jan 19th, 2012 at 8:48:59 AM PST by

ty for sharing that with me. I inherited a few pieces that she had but this one was the most unique. I may put one more piece on,not sure, hard to part with any of it.

Jan 19th, 2012 at 10:13:19 AM PST by

I just took my tray to an antique shop here in NC and they said it was worth about $150...I asked about the item you have on here and they said it sounded like an old sugar jar....very rare...you have a nice item here...
