A pair of early 20th century sterling silver individual nut dishes, likely American. Each dish features a scalloped, shallow bowl resting on a delicate openwork pedestal base. The bowls are engraved with a decorative single initial "S". The underside of the bases reveal hallmarks indicating "HAND WROUGHT" and "STERLING", along with a maker's mark that is partially obscured but appears to include "39 PROOF". These dishes are characteristic of the Art Nouveau or early Art Deco periods, combining naturalistic forms with elegant simplicity. They would have been used for individual servings of nuts or candies during formal dining.

Marked Gorham.
