Hi,

I need some help identifying the maker of a silver bowl I have.

It has a pedestal base, two handles and a lid with a knob that looks somewhat like a squash blossom.

The makers mark is a small circle at the center of which is an animal that is possibly a bear. Around the animal is the name Art. Krupp and then the word Berndorf.

Below this mark is a row of numbers and letters. They are a figure that looks similar to a British pound sign followed by a 10cl.

The next row has just one number: 1 .

Does anyone have any information about the maker, country of origin and era?
Thanks in advance.

Berndorf are an important Austrian manufacturer based near Vienna. More about the firm, including a long company history, can be found at their English web site: berndorf.at
As far as I know, the company worked/s mainly in silver plate and nickel.
