Help me identify this

Can anyone tell me what this is? Pitcher, cup, don’t know. . . Can anyone tell me how old this is? Or, the estimated value? Any help would be appreciated. Can you tell me what the number “2052” stands for?

The inscription on the bottom says, "James W. Tufts Boston Warranted Triple Plate 2052. There is a star symbol in the center with a “T” in the center of it.

Thanks,
Stokes
