Hi

This Is a Great site!

My name is Cliff, I love working with Silver!!!

My Grandmother collected this piece. I have lots of questions? Can you tell what the date would be from the mark? Is it a commission piece? What type of style or category is this? Is it a dessert tray? What type of style is the glass? The names around the edge read Mosebach. Schnvarse Hempel. HaberKorn. Willie. The names are engraved around the base of the candle holder above the glass.

Anyone know why these would be there.
Any input as to helping me would be great!!!

Hello to you, Henniger&co made a lot of these kind of articles, this one dated around 1880 -1900. Before jugendstile.

You named a candle holder but I suppose that the opening is a holder for cake/tart forks, and cake/tart was served at the glass rim. I think the art nouveau is expressed in this pattern. Henniger started in the middle of the 19th century or earlier. They call it neusilber what was created by this firm, an alloy of several metals.
