Hi,
Welcome to the forum.
I`d say it`s Victorian 1872 Elkington & Co (Frederick Elkington) of Birmingham sugar urn, unless it was meant to be some kind of trophy cup and cover with ostrich finial.

Is this sterling silver? It looks almost plated.

Genuine hallmarking is an unquestionable guarantee...see here for explanations and click on Birmingham links (in blue) to get the makers mark and date code chart (upper right): http://www.925-1000.com/british_marks.html
This is indeed real as mentioned in above entries.
