Something to get an exact idea of the size always helps. Take a pic with a quarter beside it or something. Bowl shaped with a design on one side immediately makes me think of the back of a pocket watch. And welcome from up in Greene County.

Hmmm... The image looks like a Dutch genre silver spoon bowl. So much detail on the front yet so poorly cast on the back. The notch is where the handle broke off.



Maybe someone made a copy at home from coin silver? High school shop class project?

Now that you mentioned this and I look back at the pics it does seem like the picture is on the inside of the cupped part rather than the outside as would be the case with a pocket watch. We need the op to come back with more details.
