Are there any holes in the pot, and does the pot fit nicely on that stand?

yes it does fit on the stand, the only hole in the pot is a very small hole on the underside which i thought might be a air hole from when it was made, the pot is all one item (no lid)
i would be grateful if you could identify it for me,

This is a silver representation in miniature of a cauldron for cooking fava beans (horse beans) - the stand is the hearth where the fire is light.
