This large slice (pie server) has a cello player finial and was designed to be used at a party
This piece is marked as being 800 silver along with the German crescent/crown mark
I suspect that it was made in Hanau, Germany ca.1900
The finial is cast
The top of the repouse/chased bowl shows children dancing
I have placed a ruler and a tea sized spoon in the picture to help you visualize size.
This large pie server/slice was designed to be used at a party.
The markings on it are very indistinct, but it appears to be 800 silver
this piece was cast as a unit and there is some repousse/chasing work primarily around the shoulders of the bowl
Most likely this piece has seen considerable use as most of the design is indistinct
The finial shows a couple kissing while a number of others dance .
Most likely it was intended to be a wedding server
but I have placed it in this category because of he bowl (see below)
In the bowl, a man appears to be playing a violin while a lad looks at him
