Believe this is an original Bryce Brothers piece, c. 1876, made for the Philadelphia Centennial. The dimensions are right – 7 ½" long x 5 ½" wide x 4 " high. And there is a "straw mark", really a shear line in the base. Very good condition for a piece that has so many edges – there is a 1/8" chip on the inside corner of the farthest right hand corner of the lid, and a 1/8" inside rim chip located 1 ¾" from the bottom of the lid.
