What-is-it question CXCXV

I don't think this one will last for too long, so initially only the image, clues will follow if required.

OK, let's see how good you are!

Mmm... I'm surprised.

OK, clue 1, It's used in a ritual.

OK some off the wall possibilities not knowing size:

A trivet for the truly rich?

A host holder from a monstrance?

The thingy that goes on the end of a garter that holds the silk stockings?

A cope for very light hoods?

PM me if you need help with what ceremonies where each of the above would be involved.

Hi,

Interesting suggestions Jim, but as usual Cheryl has proven unbeatable:

This particular design appears in the 1911 catalogue of the French manufacturer, Ercuis.

Thanks to all who looked in on this one.

Eh - just an old bartender, though absinthe is a spirit I've not tried or served (was still banned in my time)...

I knew Cheryl would have it down pat. I just wanted some fun. Odd thing I have an absinthe dispenser but it has a little basket to hold the sugar cube. My grandmother loved the green fairy, too sweet for my tasste.
