An interesting piece, looks to be c. 1880 ish from the EPNS markings. It is small as in the size of a gaming place marker, don’t think that it is a pipe tamper, it looks more like a gaming piece due to its plinth style mount. Weighted base.

A tab handled silver plated bowl by Christofle of Paris. C.19th. Monogrammed with a conjoined 'HP' to one side and an 'R' to underside. Probably a child's bowl.

An unusual piece that could have a variety of functions. Raised on claw feet, it has a wide rim area with a recess like a bread board tray, but would make a good cake stand for a c. 7 inch cake on a board or an equally good drinks tray etc. Sheffield made.
