I picked this piece up awhile back.  I assumed, because of its size, (the vessel stands almost 8 inches without the stopper) that it was a decanter.

I posted it, looking for an ID, and was advised that it might have served as a cologne/tonic container for a barbershop, back in the day.

It obviously had gilt on it as there are still remnants around the leaves.   I like the way that the stopper is also decorated.

I am guessing that this is late nineteenth, early twentieth century, but would love to be corrected.
