Featured Help needed with this lovely silver bowl

Hey folks!

First time in this section of the forum.
I got this little silver bowl from Swedish auction and now trying to identify it. Any ideas what this was used for, where it was made and when? What could be a value for such item? Any information is much appreciated!

Height about 7 cm (2.7 inches), length 15.5 cm (6.1 inches), weight about 191 grams.


Thank you!
Erik

 

Looks Hanau to me

 

The last symbol looks like it might be an Austrian import mark.

It's got an 800 silver mark, maybe useful and maybe not. The Germans made a lot of 800 fineness silver tableware.

 

Not English for sure, 800 was only really used in Germany, Italy and USA.However Germany had 800 as a minimum and USA simply required a makers mark, but Italy used to stamp 800 on their silver, so my best guess is Italian or some other continental.

 

To me too, both the marks and the Historic Revival style.

 

@Francisco G Kempton Not sure where you got the idea that the USA used .800 silver. Perhaps you have confused what we call "Coin silver" (and would usually about .900 fineness because of the coins that were melted to make silver objects back before the discovery of silver in the West?)

But you are correct that we did not and still do not have an official assay requirement.

 

My guess by shape would be a gravy bowl. Could just be an ornamental footed bowl or a serving bowl of some type. I concur with say it slowly, it certainly looks to be an austrian piece. Unless you know the maker of the piece etc, it would be a guess at best as to retail value. As of this morning about $117.00 in silver melt value (of course you would not get that amount). Retail maybe $225.00 to $275.00 U.S. (again, just a big old guess)

 

She said an Austrian import mark, which means it wasn't made in Austria.

 

Hanau to me for sure. stamped an Austria mark.

 

Thank you everyone for your input! Helped me a lot
