Sterling and moss agate bowl, signed. Help needed.

Some of you know I'm obsessed with moss agate, so almost fell over when I found these at a garage sale this weekend. At first I thought "antique". I could tell it was sterling, later found the marks.

Now thinking this is maybe vintage at best, but will wait to hear thoughts. Both pieces are marked 925 with a maker's mark that looks like an "H" with a line slashed through. I believe that the bowl is marked "Indonesia" as well.

When I go on Ebay and search "Indonesia Moss Agate bowl" I get 99 matches. When I search "Moss Agate bowl 925" I get zero matches under live OR completed auctions. I cannot find anything similar to these pieces on Ebay or online.

Tons of sterling and moss agate jewelry, there are modern spoons that are 100% moss agate, or sterling spoons with moss agate handles (usually antique) also many moss agate bowls, but no moss agate bowls with sterling bases like this.

Would it have been a custom piece? @Any Jewelry would you have ideas? Or anyone else? THANKS!








On bowl: This maker's mark, same mark appears on spoon:



On spoon same mark:


Also on bowl "925" and what I believe says "Indonesia".

 

Nice find! Found this with same mark.....
