Hi,
I believe this is known as an ember bowl. It was used before the invention of matches, you would place hot embers from the fire into the bowl and use them to light your cigar or pipe.

Hi, Martin!
Thank you very much for your answer! I've never seen anything like it.
There is a very expressive mark shaped like a lion’s head on this item... Maybe, it is English ember bowl?

Hello, Peter!
Thank you for your help. Indeed, the marks on my bowl are very strange to identify as English. Apparently, it is really China, because clearly an oriental monogram there is on the vase.
Yours faithfully, Elena.

No problem, Trev! There aren’t other additional marks on the vase.
