This is an erlenmeyer flask cake. If you don't know what an erlenmeyer flask is, as I didn't:
Erlenmeyer flasks are used to measure, mix, and store liquids. The
shape makes this flask very stable. They are one of the most common and
useful pieces of chemistry lab glassware. Most erlenmeyer flasks are
made of borosilicate glass so that they can be heated over a flame or
autoclaved. The most common sizes of erlenmeyer flasks probably are 250
ml and 500 ml. They can be found in 50, 125, 250, 500, 1000 ml. You can
seal them with a cork or stopper or place plastic or paraffin film or a
watch glass on top of them.

This vessel features a likeness of a striking young man with hair down past his ears, but it is an idealized portrait rather than a depiction of a specific individual. With its wishbone-shaped handle, long neck, and slightly flared mouth, this large head flask likely functioned as a pitcher.
Head flasks began to be made in the first century A.D. and continued to be produced into the fourth and fifth century. An extremely popular type of glassware, head flasks were mold-blown. For this flask, the glassmaker used a two-part mold for the front and back halves of the head. These two halves were joined together and, by inflating the molten glass into the mold, the design was imparted to the glass.
The flask's appearance has changed significantly over the centuries. On the neck and right side of the head, a flaky layer, with a rainbow-like appearance has formed. This layer, known as iridescence, was not an effect produced by the glassmaker but is a by-product of aging and weathering. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, glassmakers like Louis Comfort Tiffany and Emile Gallé deliberately created an iridescent effect for their glass. Collectors today greatly value iridescence in ancient glass.

Felix G. Whitney and E.W. Davenport founded the jewellry firm of Whitney & Davenport in North Attleboro, Massachusetts, in 1849. It was later known as Whitney, Davenport & Dunster; Whitney, Davenport & Co.; Whitney & Rice; and (in 1871) F. G. Whitney & Co. Egerton A. Bliss and James E. Carpenter bought the business in 1878, operating as Carpenter & Bliss. Carpenter retired in 1882, and the company became The Bliss Company and then E.A. Bliss Co. in 1883. It relocated to Meriden, Connecticut in 1890.
In Meriden, the company manufactured the first ornamental glass in America, and then established the Meriden Sterling Company to manufacture sterling silver merchandise.
James H. Napier (1889-1960) was educated at Groton, Mercersburg, and the University of Pennsylvania (from which he graduated at the age of 19). He held several managerial jobs, and joined E.A. Bliss in 1914, working as general manager of its jewellry business. During World War I, Bliss ceased production of jewelry to make dog-tags, medallions, and medals.
Napier became president of the company in 1920, which was renamed The Napier-Bliss Co. The company became The Napier Co. in 1922. In 1925, James Napier attended the World's Fair Exposition Internationale des Artes Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris, and brought back a number of designs influenced by Art Deco.
In the 1920s, Napier Co, designed bracelets, earrings, and necklaces in the Art Deco, Art Nouveau, Cubist, and various revivalist styles. During the 1930s, the company produced little jewelry, focusing instead on giftware. The company returned to making war material during World War II before shifting to sterling silver jewellry in the late 1940s and costume and high-end jewelry in the 1950s.
The Napier Co. was bought by Victoria & Company in 1999 and its Meriden plant closed. The brand name still exists, however.
This silver flask was designed by an unknown Napier Co. designer some time between 1925 and 1930. The interior is lined with cork, and the exterior lined with rays and geometic forms imitiating an illuminated skyscraper.

Wine Flask, Mughal court, 1610–1620.
Jade, rubies, emeralds, gold, silver.
Mughal emperors occasionally made gifts of splendid articles from the court workshops as a mark of favor. Such gifts were greatly prized by regional rulers.
This magnificent wine flask probably came from the treasury of Murshidabad, an important former Mughal state. It once belonged to Robert Clive, who helped establish British power in the region of Bengal in northeastern India.
