Given as wedding present to my g-g-grandmother in the early 1900's? Fairly ornate design, stands 16" tall and engraved with g-g-grandmother's intials and handle has a hollowed silver ball on top. Took it in for cleaning a few years back and they removed the wire rim on the bottom that had the maker info/date on it!!!!! Any information would be helpful!!
