Antique HMS Ganges Teak Pot or Display Stand with Plaque

HMS Ganges was an 84-gun second-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 10 November 1821 at Bombay Dockyard, constructed from teak. She was the last sailing ship of the Navy to serve as a flagship, and was the second ship to bear the name. She was broken up in 1930 and much of her wood was used to make souvenirs mostly with brass plaques attached such as this however all of the examples I can find are much smaller this pot or display stand measures 7 inches in diameter. It has the plaque to the front edge which reads ‘from the teak of H.M.S. Ganges the last sailing ship to serve as a seagoing flagship’. It comes in very good condition.
