Hampton Ivory England metal rimmed octagon vintage dish

Hampton Ivory England (stamped on bottom).  This unusual piece is 4-inches tall and 7-inches wide.  It's octagonal (eight sided), but the bottom (underside) and top (metal rim) are round.  I've been unable to track down another piece quite like this one.  Is it a barrel?  A chamber pot?  A cookie jar?  A tea caddy?  Or just a nice bowl to serve your mashed potatoes in?  Make it whatever you want it to be!  The metal rim is marked E.P.N.S. (electro plated nickel silver), with a little crest in which the letters or numbers are unreadable.

The pattern features a large blue / purple flower with a pink center, with a pink/magenta flower to the left and some blue-green foliage leaves to the right.  This pattern appears three times around the edge of the container.  One of these has the tips of the leaves missing.  I do see some green spots inside the dish that are rough to the touch, perhaps manufacturing defects?  There is one X on the bottom where crazing started, but the rest of the dish appears to be free of any chips, crazing, or repairs.  I have not cleaned this dish - it will arrive to you in it's original state (in case you want or don't want to have any kind of cleaning or repair done to the metal rim).
