(I used to be Curator for Customs and Excise so saw a lot of these!) They also come with enamel decoration.

It's made from possibly electroplated silver and has removable tweezers and has what looks like to be Chinese hallmarks. Thing is, it doesn't look like anything we have in the collections? Has anyone come across one of these?
