    These 3 beautiful marked 925 sterling objects were bought in a presentation box in an antique shop in Apalachicola, Fl. They measure L 3 3/4" x W 2 1/2" x H 3/4". The smaller circle appears to have a textile enclosed under hard plastic or glass. The presentation box is marked with the hard to decipher information in the last photo. I was told they are used for oysters. I cannot find any supporting information about these odd objects in the literature. A friend that wrote the book on Tiffany sterling was stumped. We need help from the sage and astute members of CW!! Has anyone seen these before?

      If I may suggest, retake photos 1 and 3; arrange the three pieces in a way to give the viewer six different angles. As it is now, you essentially have three identical overhead views and three identical side views.

      Thank you.

      I have seen hors d'oeuvre plates that attach to a glass or a finger. I cannot see the side or bottom to ascertain what's going on with the design of this piece.
