This is a very nice 6" high candlestick that appears to be solid silver and hand made with a lot of reticulation. It is completely unmarked and I am at a loss to even begin to think where to look to at least determine some facts about it's origin. Does this kind of design look familiar to anyone? Thanks.

Might look at Colonial Indian (Anglo-Indian), perhaps Kutch (Cutch)...

Thanks Cheryl, there are similarities in the foliate design but I don't see repeated patterns like the triangles with dots or actual reticulation, but that seems overall closer than anything else I've found.
