Tastevin “Burgundy Patriarch”

This little tastevin is engraved "patriarch". "patriarchal bourgognes". So it's a French tastevin. Needless to say, I don't know if it's a good idea to put it on sale these days: ). At the same time, the word patriarch is hidden by the thumb when you hold it. I always knew it at my parents' house, it wasn't used to test or taste, but it was used as an ashtray. It could now be used to put rings in, or even to put a big flat candle inside. It's made of silver metal. Old, because I've always known it so... Old... (at least 1960) It weighs 50 grams. When you turn it over, I find that it looks like a small rum baba mold.
