18th Century Funeral Perfumary Centerpiece

18th Century Funeral Perfumary Centerpiece This piece has been handed down through 4 generations. It is in excellent condition with no chips or wear. It could use a delicate cleaning. My research on the piece is in the pictures. The one mark on the bottom, "made in Italy," leaves me stomped to its original origin. It appears to be a piece used for fragrance when a body was laid out for burial before embalming. I am open to comments from anyone who wants to share insight. I am open to offers. I priced it without knowing it's real worth. I know that finding a piece of this age in this great condition is rare.
