HOLD
Nearly square at 8" x 7 5/8", 1 1/2" deep, and weighing 7.0 T. oz., this solid silver piece is an open vegetable or other serving bowl.
It is marked on the underside with the crossed "stakes" or "swords" of "Fenniman & Co.," which was a short-lived, early 20th century, New York City silver manufacturer.
Other marks include "Sterling" and model number "368."
It has a 1" wide, scalloped and undulating, rim, and fluted walls. The base is slightly convex and is engraved with a lined script "VMS" monogram.
In very good condition, it is free of bends, breaks or marring. While the overall finish is bright and even, the interior base shows some light scratches and two faint dimples.
