Daher Decorative Platter
It has a floral motif.
It measures 10 1/2 inches tall and 13 inches across.
The marking on the back is pictured above, but says:

Floral Mailbox Tin
The tin has a floral motif and a hinged lid.
The tin stands 4 1/8 inches tall with a 6 by 4 1/2 inch base. The top is 5 by 4 1/2 inches.
The floral motif does not extend around all four sides of the tin, which leads me to believe that it should be displayed like a mailbox, rather than standing upright.
The back (or bottom if you choose) of the tin has the following circular marking:
Container Made in England
Tall Round Decorative Tin
The tin has a motif of flowers and birds on branches.
The tin stands 5 inches tall with a 5 inch wide base.
The knob on the lid adds another 3/4 inches to the overall height.
The bottom of the tin has the following circular marking:
Container Made in EnglandThe container is rusted along the edges, and the knob is dented.
