This is a small "silver" dish. 2 3/4 inches in diameter and 3/8 inches deep. I am hoping that someone can provide info for me. There is a manufacturer's stamp on the underside. It looks like a honey bee along with the initials C G. I have searched the internet to try to locate the manufacturer, but was unsuccessful. I know it's not sterling silver, it is not stamped as such and hasn't tarnished like sterling does. Thanks so much!
Adelphi plate is one suggestion. An Italian firm from Milan is another suggestion on the net too: Gioielleria Galbiati. Christofle has used a bee but it is tiny. The Adelphi mark on the net has different letters left and right. Yours is GG. See what you think.
The Gioielleria Galbiati looks like it's a match regarding the stamp, and it makes sense considering this item came from my Great Aunt's estate and both her and my uncle were Italian and would often travel back to the mother land.
Ecco, perfetto! Son d'accordo!
Glad to help.
Thanks so much!
