Hi,

Please ignore my complete and utter ignorance on the subject of hallmarking. I have lots of items that I would love to identify, as well as know the makers, possible dates of creation and where the items were made.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I have of course used various sources on the net to attempt to date etc., but although I think I may have been successful on a few of the pieces, I would like the opinions of some people with real expertise and experience:

Looks like London 1904 by Johnson, Walker & Tolhurst. Probably a bon-bon dish.

Thank you Miles.

Looking at the items in the background I would imagine it is 8-10 inches long which would make it rather a breadbasket than a bon-bon dish Miles, what do you think?

At 8" or above I would be inclined to call it a breadbasket or fruit dish.

I do have an old silver catalogue with all these sorts of dish, but the lengths are not specified and they're all the same size in the pictures.
