Buyer's premium:

This collection of silver-colored metalware is centered by a large, ornate scallop shell-form serving dish, consistent with examples identified as silver plated. Accompanying the dish is a pair of small tongs with scroll-form grips. The hollowware includes two traditional tankard-style mugs, one clearly marked “HALF PINT” with a crest, and a novelty mug shaped like a golf bag with a cream-colored liner. The flatware consists of a group of small spoons, many appearing to be souvenir spoons with diverse decorative elements such as enamel crests (one distinctly marked “NORWICH” with a coat of arms), a guitar motif, or an amber-colored cabochon, alongside a few larger, plainer serving spoons. All items are made of a silver-colored metal, likely silver plate.

A metal ruler is visible in the foreground, however, specific dimensions for the items cannot be accurately determined from the image.
