This silver item, could be a candle standard but the dimensions are quite large. The diameter of the middle hole is: 4 cm. The total diameter is: 17,5 cm. It looks to me that I see the London hallmark, but I am not sure.

So two questions, can anyone determine this item for the maker / City and what they used it for?

Thanks in advance!
