How about a clue ... Does the top come off or is it one piece?

it looks like a food warmer of European origin....possibly Swiss or Austrian.
Just a guess.

Hints:
The knob does what knobs do,
two of the handles look like "frogs".
Answer tomorrow.

Yes it is a food warmer from France. Here is one more for you to see, this one is from Italy. Both of these vessels are wonderfully detailed pieces.

This looks like a variation of the previous piece, but has a very different function.

Wow! Marcia that is a real thing isn't it. Well this is only a very elementary guess. It looks like it could be a scientific apparatus of some sort. How about an early Hofmann apparatus or a distiller? It is amazing!

It is a vaporizer found in the Medical Museum in Zurich.
It was IMO very fascinating.
