I'm thinking late 18th ?

Why the wax stamp / seal ? Chinese items had to have the wax stamp on them for export at one time but from what i can see, the " letters " on the seal are English ?

No signs of a lid at all....this is really bothering me, I can usually figure out quickly on my own what something is, I was going to put it on ebay but I have no idea what to call it  ???  ;D
