Tea pot lid ??

 

[artyfacts]

One lump or two. Looks like a small sugar holder lid.

Agreed that it's the lid to a sugar bowl. The flat edge on one side is where the hinge broke off & the other opening is for the spoon.

Nope, mustard pot.

Do you think it is very old ? thanks for the Id

Hard to say... they haven't changed much in 200 years. From what I can see it is not spun, so older sterling/coin or not so old silver plate.

If it is sterling it is pre-1850's technology. Probably pre-1900.

If it is coin it is pre-1850-ish. This would be my guess, but you can't be sure without testing it.

The spun sterling stuff is always thin and has a rolled edged. Yours doesn't have a rolled edge.
