Featured Gambling on a purchase - oooooooh I get to polish!

Good Evening Everyone,

It's been a little bit since I've been able to post a really good find, so here we go! When I made the purchase, I had no clue about whether my guess was good, because the seller couldn't locate any marks. I just went off of gut feel about the potential positive indicators. Here's what we got! I'm going to start polishing!

We need a LOVE button.
Cause I love this so much!!

 

Great that it looks like you have a perfect, and beautiful BLUE insert, Nate!!!!! The WHOLE piece is Lovely!!!​

​

 

Yes, that was the part that excited me a lot, especially considering this item had to survive being mailed to me!

 

so pretty!!

 

No wonder the seller missed the marks. The silver is great, but an intact insert? That never happens! The insert may be worth more than the silver.

 

Thank you @Roaring20s, looks like a perfect match to me.

 

A wonderful way to spend the evening, polishing this beautiful new piece in my collection, I hope you enjoy

 

It's a treasure. I have always love the silver and cobalt combo.

 

yes....to everything that everyone has already said.......

 

@MrNate
What are the dimensions and what is this item called? I can't imagine serving food in this, but I guess that's it's purpose.

 

I am curious as to its use as well. It doesn't look like a salt.

It's just magnificent!

 

Simply stunning. Never seen anything like it. My jealousy knows no bounds.

 

Is it a fancy lasagna pan?

 

Soooo beautiful!
@MrNate what do you use to polish something like that?

 

Fruit would look wonderful in it!

 

Am also curious as to its size. The e-bo-o listing was for a small salt container, 3 inches. If yours is somewhat larger, it could be for an accompanying piece to the salt, such as for a cold condiment, sauce, jelly. The Germans liked side dishes, like pickled ghurkins, red beets, also mustard sauces, aspic, smoked eel, many others that would fit in your beautiful dish.

 

excellent score Mr Nate I agree, having the original insert is amazing, can't imagine you could find another very easily. Your polishing just adds to the beauty
No idea on use, I think it looks wonderful with nothing in it
