Maybe a clue could be where it's found by me ? Comes from the North off Holland where there's a lot off water sports and boat building happening during the centuries . So maybe a link there ?

I assume it is “cast” brass given the fact the leg supports are soldered in place.

And the fact it has a handle and the sides of the compartments are all “sloped” makes me think it is a “serving” piece for mints, candy, whatever. Like one often finds on counters, desks, end tables, etc.

I was thinking it was high in order to cool off after melted items were poured in.
