    I have found quite nice things on nearly every fleamarkets the last few weeks.
    hand made caviar or salt bowls made of inside gilt silver.
    Unfortunately no hallmarks found while inspecting it closely.
    height is 4cm to the rim and 5cm in total height
    depth is 6cm and width is 8cm without and 10cm with the leafs
    any ideas where from and how old?

      And you expect help from one picture? Silver bowl? Is it marked? Show the markings. What are the dimensions? Giving help = Getting help. You get back what you give. Invest a little.

      Those ‘putti’ have interesting faces.

      I think reproduction of some kind and the chasing or detail is off of being top-notch. Womens faces, not putti .

      Admittedly, there is not enough information that I have added to the text. I was completely lost the night. Nevertheless, I would like to apologize for this. It is salier. They are gold-plated on the inside. It is handicraft. The bowls are hand driven. You can see that when you look with a magnifying glass. You can also see traces of the grinding of the fc. Unfortunately there are no hallmarks. As you can see from the photos, the silver was extremely patinated. One is quite well preserved. The other is apparently missing the tendrils between the leaf-shaped feet. I spent a long time looking for a hallmark with a watchmaker's magnifying glass. There is none. But it's silver. I'll take new photos tomorrow and add the dimensions.

      It may be Indian silver from India. The bowl looks quite well detailed. I used to have the old ones from India where the whole thing was hammered. Much better pics !~
