This is a recent Garage Sale find. It's ALVIN - BEIDERHASE which was Alvin Silver Company in the late 1800's and early 1900. It's silverplate. Does anyone know what kind of bowl this is? It almost looks like a food mold? It's 5 1/2 inches across and shallow.

Thanks - it's silver plate but is lovely. I wish it was sterling.
It looks a bit like a fish w/o a head or tail. So I would say it isn't a fish.

It's probably a nut dish or something like that - I was thinking maybe a butter mold because of the detail?? I don't know how butter molds really work and I guess they are normally copper or pewter anyway.
thanks

They used to have Bone plates didn't they? If your fish had bones in it you could put them on a different plate. Just a thought.
