There is a ruler and a normal tea sized spoon on the right which is to help you visualize how big these spoons actually are.

repousse work with two foreground cows and a bridge over a stream.
Windmill and houses in the background
This is a very common theme in Dutch genre style paintings



unusual shaped bowl showing male and female (lovers?) with a horse and other animals.
note the extensive chasing of bricks etc. Unsure ofthe meaning of chasing below the main scene.
Looks to me like a king and flowers.


Three masted ship. Notice the nice lobate style of water.
The two angels supporting the ship is a moralistic hope that the ship will be protected at sea.

 
This is the center part of Rembrandt's famous "Night Watch" painting reproduced  in silver.
The nice repousse and chased workmanship evokes some of the emotion of the painting



A nice repousse and chased scene of a small herd of cows watched by a mustachioed  man


The ship is hand sawn  with a nice art nouveau border and lobate water design .
The design above the ship looks like a crown or flower basket.
The figure below is touching his head with his left hand  and touching his belly with his right hand
Maybe an allusion to thinking makes for a full belly.


I suspect that this winged angel is some type of victory symbol
