I've been given these by a relative, but after researching I don't have a clue what they are, or what the hallmarks mean.
I would appreciate any advice please.
Thank you :)

The marks are for Martin Hall & Co, assayed in Chester, 1910. Not sure what they were intended for - what size are they?

The piece on the left is: 75mm diameter + 53mm depth.
The piece on the right is: 56mm diameter + 55mm depth.
At a vague guess I would suggest for serving something, but really not sure.
Thank you very much for your response, I appreciate it a lot :) I didn't realise it was quite that old!
Any further information/knowledge is really welcomed!
Thank you :)

If both pieces have the same hallmarks they are presumably a set or part set but but I, like you, could only guess at their original use. Sorry!

I have seen similar recently elsewhere described as a creamer and sugar bowl

Thank you very much, that's really useful information!
I'll keep researching and if I do find out then will post what they are.
Thank you :)
