    Hey folks, happy Friday!

    I have this beautiful silver bowl, but I am struggling to identify the maker and age. From research, I understand it is Spanish, but does anyone know the maker and when it was approx. made?

    Thank you in advance!
    Erik

    Yes, it is Spanish, with the post-1934 mark for .915 silver.

    It is a bonbon dish.

    Oops, edited it, my covid eyes had struck again, sorry about that Erik.:shame:

    Agree gorgeous bowl.

    @Any Jewelry Great ID as usual.

    Not questioning, learning here. Definitely looks like silver. Which mark shows the fineness? Is it the star?

    Awesome explanation. Thank you.

    I might have looked at this and thought the "PLATA" meant plate, lol.

    Good to know! I've never been good with marks, more just how things feel in the hand. Still learning! Thank you. :)

    Which is often a good way to tell what it is. If you have some experience, you can even have an idea of the fineness. And silver has a certain smell as well.
