A very unusual, perhaps unique, form, likely a berry bowl and spoon. The brilliant red of the patinated copper is a rare and beautiful achievement of Tiffany's Japanese-inspired work of the 1870s and 80s. Both bowl and spoon are decorated with superb applied foliage and insects in mixed alloys, including a "mokume" (wood-grain) style butterfly.
