No problems - the origin of this may become an ongoing personal quest for you - a quick look at jewellery websites suggests these sorts of items are usually one-off designs and made on request for individuals or Universities/Colleges.
The receptacle at the end of the retort is called a "catch-bowl" - its use being self explanatory
ETA: The poster above me has certainly narrowed the search considerably - hope you get some closure regarding this little enigma of yours.

I'm very interested to find out what the other symbol is? There is a small gold bowl under the ( pipe, old carrying bag with something in it?) what is it there for?
Not that i like Harry Potters movies
this gold bowl could be some magic elexir for eternal life
making pure silver and gold or the philosopher stone itself
it could mean a lot of things .. your familly probably have some deep secrets
and it is now your quest to find out everything
not a coincidence that you found that pendant
maybe its nothing and the pendant is junk ..
if you suspect something .. then you have the answer
be carefull .. dont share your findings to people you dont trust
most legend trully exist .. the world is just "Wow" if you know what i mean loledit on 9/19/2012 by Ben81 because: (no reason given)

Ok...so, that curved cylinder is pouring something into the little bowl? I wonder about the 2 lines coming out of the thicker part of the " retort " (?)

That is the base. You would have an open flame under the retort to heat whatever was in the vessel.
