Antique silver pot - this would have started life as a holder for vesta wax matches, as it has the basket-weave design on the sides where you struck the match. However, long ago converted to a pin cushion. Measures 4.65 cm high and 5.4 cm diameter.  It has an attractive engraved pattern, and a British hallmark for Birmingham 1902, and a maker’s mark of W.D. in a cartouche, probably William Devenport. The silver has two shallow dents on one side, otherwise all good.
