Silver plated? They appear to be. however, I am no expert on this item. The pictures are the best description and narrative. You will receive both pieces pictured. From a local estate sale. Will come well packaged by me. May be used as a decorative display / candy dish. Lions on each side of the wavy edge bowl, in the style of English metal ware, ie. Sheffield. Two handles, one on either side. Only mark I could find was JAPAN. Maker unknown. They came together, but I believe they are different makers. The silver tone is different on each piece. Midcentury modern design! Thanks for shopping!
