Hi all.
My first post so please be gentle & I apologise if this is posted in the wrong section!
I have the following item that my mum was going to give to a local jumble.
1. What is it, I'm assuming it's a wine decanter.
2. Is it plated or is it silver? I'm assuming it's plated but hey, you're the experts .................. not me.
I also apologise for the poor photos, they are actually photos of photos!
Many thanks in advance,
Slime.
What is this and is it plated?

Thanks for the prompt responses.
Any idea what it is?
Is it a hot water decanter or maybe wine?
