Found this yesterday. It is marked pewter has a 95 and angel or cupid touchmark. About 8 3/8' long, 3 3/4" wide 2 3/8" tall to the highest part of the handle. Pewter dish 1.jpgpewter dish 2.jpgpewter dish 3.jpgpewter dish 4.jpgpewter dish 5.jpgpewter dish 6.jpg

Anyone come across one of these before?
 

Maybe a spoon rest
 

So I did a little research, and sent an email to the pewter society, in Great Britain, [email protected], and they answered!
This is a very dainty handled shell dish for small sweets etc., standing on three small ball feet made on the Continent of Europe in the early twentieth century from the mark “95%” giving the percentage of tin in the alloy used. Angel touch marks were widely used by Continental pewterers but this cannot be identified from the information given sadly.

We are pleased to have received your enquiry. We welcome new members and if you think in the future that you would like to join our Society, full details can be found on our website:
