For several months I've been interested in silver objects.
I bought a new piece for which the hallmark is strange and I need help to identify it.

On one side is marked 'SILVER' on the other side in the form of a 'house' a mark: STE than a figure and P under it 950M.

Thanks for your help!

Your salad servers were made in France after 1973 for export, as indicated by the “baraque” or house shaped mark - a square topped by a triangle - used on light-weight objects. They are made of 950 standard silver as indicated by 950m. I believe the maker may be the Société Parisienne de Bijouterie, founded in 1902.

Hope this helps.
