Featured Silver folks, a little help ?

Hi all. Its been a little while since i posted any finds (thank you Trump,I paid more taxes than my mother who has FAR more assets ???) But I digress . I found these in a thrift,all 3 pieces were $4,and they were covered with a green gunk so I think most folks thought it was plate. However,I started to clean them and the smell of mint was overwhelming! The bowl is 3 1/2 inches wide,2 high,the plate is 4 3/4 wide. The only mark on the spoon is a 2 ? Any input is always appreciated.


mark on bowl


mark on plate.900 or 800?

 

Couple more finds from the same thrift,didnt feel like starting a whole new thread.

Your snuffer was made by the Randahl Shop of Chicago!

here's input......way to see beyond the dull colored gunk....& find silver !!!!!!

 

Does the second item say sterling on the handle? It's hard to make out what the ends look like but it looks like fox and grapes decoration.

 

Yes it does, marked Germany on the round hinge part.

 

Superb find!
Your first pieces in pics are Cambodian or Thaï
@Any Jewelry what is your opinion on the style of the lady's outfit on spoon?

 

Wow,I was looking at middle eastern marks ! Thank you !

 

On the scissor like piece - what's at the end? Fork? spoon? Fork and spoon?

 

Sorry for the crappy pics,heres the serving thingie..

 

I suspect for cake or vegetables or something like that. Usually, flat-ended tongs were for serving slices of cake (so you don't pierce the cake and it falls apart as you pick it up).

 

How long are they?
Salad tongs? - Large
Ice tongs? medium to small

 

I think it's a fox and grapes.

 

7 1/2 inches long. I thought maybe for pickles ? Or olives .

 

could be fruit......slice of melon....or such....

 

Pastry tongs...

The tines are bent at a right angle like claws. They are meant to grab something.
I would think pastry would have at least one flat side to slide under. BWDIK

 

They wouldn't slide under the pastry, roll, etc., they'd be used in the same position as shown on post #10, close gently, pick up and transfer to plate...

I love the spoon, bowl & plate combo
