This silverplated piece was made in the 19th century.
It's 10.5 inches (26.7 cm) tall.
What was it called?

An egg carroussel/cooker?

Or on closer look .. some kind of nice drinking game?

That's close enough for me Doos.

It's called an "egg cruet". Boiled eggs are kept warm inside of it.

I like your second idea better too.

Sorry, no prizes. Shipping costs from Chicago to the Netherlands are too high.
