Wondering if there are any silver / Victorian tableware experts who can help me in identifying this large pieces of Victorian silver plate.
The burner is marked Knickerbocker silver company. I am unsure if it is the original burner as the engraving does not match the engraving on the main piece which does not have any makers marks.
It is 52cm tall. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

No idea. I would be wondering if A) the components had been assembled correctly and B) whether they were originally all part of the same piece.

Looks like some sort of distilling device,heat the large bottom bowl and steam rises through the top piece. I would have thought there would have been a glass bowl like attachment at the top which could explain the strange top shape. One tap for letting the steam rise and the other to drain the top bowl?
