.. or perhaps not.
A friend was over yesterday dropping off a sword, and having similar interests to myself in ethnographic miscellania we had a chat and a good go over the piece. Probably not a tiffin set as there are not enough sections, three is usually a minimum, and there are signs of heat being applied to the slightly bowled base of the larger vessel. Not an industrial product but well made by hand, and a few telltales of patching to fit. Tinned by dipping in the eastern style.
We concluded that it was more of a canteen or mess kit,.. but for who? |

narrowed down
Well my online searching is narrowing down the possibilities. It looks very like something from traditional Indian brass ware often referred to as a milk-pot. But, they have a flat bottom and no internal tray unlike the one I have which has a bowled base and an internal tray or division. Pictures below of an examples of a "Milk Pot". Still searching!
