They have gotten this from an inheritance.
They suspected that it came from Spain (Mallorca)
I have more the idea that it comes from India / Indonesia.
They didn’t like it, same for me.
Does someone recognize this object

Hi Dendriet!
This is very similar to Yogua (Djokja) silver from Indonesia.
See here:

Hi Urbaranda,
Thanks for responding.
My suspicion was correct.
I have no good knowledge of Djokja silver.
Maybe you know how old it is, and even better the name of the Maker's Mark.
You make my day :)
Thank you very much for the effort.

Hi Dendriet!
I think this bowl isn't very old - 40-50 years. Unfortunately I don't know who is the maker, but you can learn more about Yogya silver from this book: "Yogya silver: renewal of a Javanese handicraft" / Pienke W.H. Kal,
Amsterdam : KIT Publishers, 2005.
Best regards. Alex.

Hi Alex,
Thanks for the information.
I got this for free at the other silver stuff what I had bought.
At first, I thought they were pseudo hallmarks.
Learned something. :)
Best regards.
