When I was young my father rented out a house to a very kind middle aged family from India. Every couple months the grandmother would fly in to visit and bring my sister and I back old goodies and "treasures"from their home in India.
One time (ab 15+yrs ago)she brought her grandchildren back some sort of brass chalice and "genie bottle"(at least thats what it was) ... the grandchildren were my age(10-12) and said they were old and valuable religious things.. I was young and never asked them what they were though but my dad said he "thinks"; it was used for tea/coffee.
Long story short---I was cleaning out some boxes and couldnt believe what I found. Any info on the age/value and what exactly this is
