Spice container. [Presumably Poland, 19th century].

Silver, cut and repoussé (marked with fineness mark “12”); filigree; parcel-gilt.

Crafted in the form of a tower topped with a large gilded dome, adorned with vegetal motifs and a rooster finial.

The dome is detachable and may have been intended to double as a Havdalah candleholder. The octagonal spice compartment is made entirely of delicate silver filigree panels with floral designs. Set on a round base with a short stem. The initials BR are engraved on the dome.
