This is a very nice piece,gold touches and roses were often used in the better pieces.at the time and the glaze is lovely. About 3-4 inches with a small opening. I have no idea what this was used for,matches? Toothpicks? Perfect condition,nice addition to westie or Scotty collection. Decided to add(no additional charge) cigarette holder Scotty or westie as they are from the same period with the same lovely satiny finish.
