looking for info on a silver bowl marked D*S

[jerome]

First off I would like to apologize to everyone as i attempt to learn the in and outs of the forum. I guess this would be my 4th try to get it ..hopefully this time is a charm. I have been attempting to research a silver bowl ?sterling? or Coin silver I am not sure but it has the makers initials which are D*S with what I belive to be a star interpolated between the initials if any one has any information it would be greatly appreciated ..thanks in advance
