[tyzer]

Hello guys i do have another rare item.
I hope with the help of you to know what it is.
I think it might be made ​​from a type of fruit.
maybe it's African because the wood is very dark
the bottom is not flat, so not a vase

There are no British hallmarks in the images shown. The only similarity is the Lion Passant, but your version is the wrong way round.

This post provides some more information regarding mate cups: viewtopic.php?f=38&t=19922&p=46344
