not always easy to tell the difference between cut and pressed, although experience does help - but unlikely to be both on an item like this. It can help, usually, to look into the mitres - those deepish V cut grooves that so often adorn both sorts of glass ........... using a good light source can pick up the lines (within the V cuts) created in cut glass by the grinding wheel, as the polishing rarely removes them entirely. Of course, in pressed glass these will never be seen, plus the edges of pressed patterns are mostly not as sharp as cut glass.
I'd suggest this was made as some part of a dressing table accoutrement - but E didn't tell us the size, and assume there aren't any marks on the metalwork
