I would like to know what this is.

There are a series marks in a row on the bottom of one of the plates/bowls
the marks are:

    HW&CO

what looks like a lower case m with a line on top and bottom

a cursive letter s or an ampersand (&)

the letters EP

and two keys crossed

Thank you

It is silverplate (Ep stands for electro-plated) and was made by Henry Wilkinson & Son in Sheffield, England.

As to what it is, I'm not completely sure, but I think it was probably for condiments and almost certainly once had two glass bottles or pots, perhaps for salt and pepper.
