   It’s the inside of some type of industrial machine component. It looks to have a smooth polished bowl around the edges with a wire mesh and hub/spoke bottom.

   Either that or a blinged out pair of 22" rims found on an SUV 🙂

   Yes, I thought the red discoloration on the mesh was rust, but on second guess and one Google Search of "Reverie", I’m guessing it’s a wine filtering container found here.

   My first guess was the inside of a highly polished flour sifter

   Shannon Clark is right… that’s what it looks like to me too. It is similar to the one on this site.

   Excusez-moi. Beyond what the object is… Is this picture upside down taken while drawning the object in liquid? This is: the half upper part of the picture is in fact a reflection of the object -dry yet- (down part of photo)

    Wow. I go to a dinner party and miss a lot of action. Bingo Shannon, a new puzzle solver.

    Rocketeer’s link shows the object, with a camera angle over the lid. Slight variations in the camera position would create a gallery of fluid reflections.

    Eppie and Billy (in his first comment) were right about the curved/distored reflection.

    This puzzle was identified by a young boy who brought the sifter to me and said "look. This would be a good puzzle for Flickr"
