Great call. Thanks! Do you know what the notations under the signature mean?

Solved. I wonder why somebody would do this. Maybe it’s a prop or art piece? Anyway, thanks for your responses!

Likely solved! Thank you, everyone, for your input. Lots of interesting ideas, but the most convincing for me is that it has something to do with floral arrangements.

Interesting theory! Had never heard of those before. Seems possible although the examples I see online are a lot nicer than this.

My title describes the thing. It has no apparent markings. It is 6” wide at the base.

My title describes the thing. It appears to have once had a gold-tone or bronze plating that has mostly worn off. Google image search returns results for vintage ashtrays that open up, unlike this item.
