Measures approximately 8" high (to top of handle) by 5" in diameter.

The ruby or cranberry glass insert is in excellent condition and I believe it to be the original glass insert.  There are a few tiny fleabites around the rim.  The glass insert does not sit in the stand completely level so the lid is slightly skewed.

Fantastic leopard - like or gargoyle heads on each of the supports.  A wonderful eagle finial on the lid.  Engraved initals and the date 1873 on the top front silver plated rim.

The firm was purchased in 1890 by Maltby, Stevens & Curtiss and later by Watrous Mfg Co. In 1898 the business became part of International Silver Company.
