Spring loaded at one end, what happens at the other end? Presumably the "cap" unscrews?

I am assuming it is not for a child's toy because of the lovely mother of pearl decoration. Tempted to think it is for a female.

sirlearie, is the stopper made of cork or wood and is that dirt or rust on the spring?
I assume the metal part can be pressed down into the larger chamber. If so, does that action itself force off the cap?
It possibly belongs to Gwyneth Paltrow and is used in her perfume production.

Seriously though, there must be an Aber who can help ?
