I would call it a 'chafing pan'... a kind of serving dish in which food could be warmed through on a stove and brought to the table or kept hot until needed. Sometimes they had a stand incorporating an independent heater (candle or flammable spirit).

It's probably going to be silver plate on copper or brass for better heat conductivity. I don't see any maker mark.

There is a mark that is covered by the handle which may indicate silver, not sure if you saw that

Multiple possibilities for a maker with a name ending "... Silver Co." but that doesn't mean the piece is actually silver. The mark itself has nothing to indicate that it is silver, and I would be very surprised if it is.

Here it is thanks for the help. I did not use a.I.

Very nice. Originally I thought it was a crumb tray for a butler/server.
Chafing dish makes more sense.
