Please help me identify this object I got from my aunt

Looks like copper. I believe my aunt bought it in Colombia. I have no idea of what it is or what it is used for


I can't help but think it looks like a spittoon.


Looks like some smudge pots I have seen, but don't know if they figure in Colombian folk art/crafts.


ooh!  Love this -it’s MOL Antiques Roadshow!  


Sorry, no idea what it is - curious to find out.


I have a feeling you put wood chips into it to either heat or smoke food, or to heat a small area.

Mrsmarksierra might know - @marksierra, are you around?? cheese


Its a smudge pot. Might be worth a couple hundred bucks. 


wtf is a smudge pot?

(google)

oh. that's kind of what I thought.  A little small though.Doesn't look like it would produce much smudge.
