Goutte-vin circa 1840

Unusual piece that just came out of an estate we did last  week. In french it is called a goutte-vin so if we do translate word by word would be a wine taster. Circa 1840 with an authenticity certificate that was in it, this is a huge piece made with a bull horn mounted on bronze feet decorated with gold leaves..Really nice old piece that would come from Germany
