Maybe it's my monitor, but looks silver to me - it's definitely not American coin. Perhaps Berlin maker Jürst & Co...

They're Brazilian ice cream/dessert cups, usually sold with matching spoons - not familiar with this company, but similar sets were made by various manufacturers (Plata Tucan = Toucan Plate).

Hi - welcome to the forums. Good job on your first post.

It is solid sterling silver, please see Wm. B Kerr: https://www.925-1000.com/ax_kerr.html

At that size and shape, was most likely sold as an individual nut dish.

The whale/shark mark of Danish silverplate manufacturer Hans Jensen, it's often found with the marks of various importers and/or retailers - if I recall correctly, this piece is a cigarette case...

That's International Silver's Whitehall (New) pattern, introduced in 1938.

Personally, seeing some sort of calligraphy, but not a tughra. Mine was purchased from a dealer who brought back dozens of them from a buying trip to India, and having seen many with extremely similar design also identified as Indian, sometimes from India-based sellers, unless provided with reliable...

Mine, posted below, is an Indian brass drinking cup/glass, was told it likely dates from the early to mid 20th century, they're typically used for the yoghurt-based 'lassi', as well as water (makes a good pen cup since it's so sturdy). Similar pieces are fairly common... ~Cheryl https://i.postimg.cc...

For what it's worth, to my eye, the last five letters appear to be 'ONSON', but just can't really make out the other letters obscured by the mark they were struck over, but suspect the first letter may be an 'S'. Whether I matched the size of the letters or the outline to the size of the mystery mar...

So sorry to hear this. Sincere condolences to Werner's family and friends - may his soul rest in peace...

McGrew's 'Manufacturers' Marks on American Coin Silver' (2004) attributes those pseudo-marks to John O. & Walter Pitkin of East Hartford, CT [partnership 1830-40], noting use by retailer J.B. Shepard, with no further information...

Interesting objects, would also think 10 dinheiros marks and likely Brazilian - but I'm not seeing a 'figa' (fig), which is a very specific kind of 'fist', unless there is a thumb in the correct orientation that you haven't shown, just looks to me like a hand holding a ring, more a decorative devise...

Looks like an 'I.N. Deitsch' mark...

Just for clarity, acid etched bowls like this one were very common, and were also often done by retailers - it was not in any way exclusive to Howard (two acid-etched Easter spoons can be seen two posts up on the first link Trev posted)...

That doesn't look like a Benaki Museum mark to me. Don't know the mark, but started seeing these reverse-carved/intaglio amber pieces coming out of Poland around 20 years ago, and they're still produced there - they were also sold through numerous retailers here in the US (and I'm sure other countri...

Why do you believe it's silverplate? This pattern is usually called 'Leaf' and should be coin silver...

Eh, I've the same feeling as Amena here - design and workmanship looks to me like some sort of small Spanish Colonial plaque, would guess more likely nailed to something like perhaps a wooden chest, rather than anything sewn to one's garb. Zig-zag assay scrapes, called burilladas, were fairly common...
