Thanks - I don't recognize the marks. Probably UK silverplate, if silver at all, perhaps some of our readers can help.

My first impression was the item is a child's robot.....seriously, it may be a burner for a chafing dish....very art deco.

Regards,

Uncle Vic

Keith - a "chafing dish" is a bowl on a stand with a small burner (or even a candle) under it to keep cocktail finger food warm - such as little meat balls you spear with a toothpick.
