OK, this one will stump you.
A c.1805 piece made of Sheffield plate, about 11" long.

Hi Miles,
Is it a muffin dish?,

Not a muffin dish, but it is used with food.

My guess is a Toasted-Cheese Dish.
Here's one made by John Moore in 1804. Notice the mice on the corners and the mouse-trap on top.

Regards,
Pat.
