Russian cloisonne tea holder. This amazing antique silver gilt tea holder, or podstakannik, made by the studio of Karl Faberge, and is decorated with curved lines, stylized blossoms and chevrons of shaded enamel.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, the etiquette in Russia allowed only ladies to drink tea from porcelain cups - men had to drink from glass, and because Russians like their tea very hot, hands were always being burnt. Hence, the creation of the podstakannik, or tea holder.

Dimensions: 2 1/2" tall x 2 15/16" diameter
