18th Century Silver Bowl

This is a superb fancy Sterling silver small bowl made by an unknown maker (possibly from Holland ) in the early to mid 18th century. I had two friends who are into silver look at it and they both agreed it is 18th century rather than the more common more modern copies. The bowl is exquisite! It is decorated with a scene in the center that reminded me much more or porcelain (which is why I bought it in the first place) than silver. There is a lady holding a jug and a gentleman smoking a long pipe. The rim has four different fruit designs on it which are all very detailed as well. Not knowing anything about silver it is certainly very very nice and in good condition with a few small marks from age and a few tiny holes in the fruit decoration that is from the making where the maker was a little rough it seems when making the fruit designs. They are only visible when you shine a light against it and look for them! The bowl has a mark that looks to be RCC or something like this under a crown. The bowl is 0.875 inches tall and 4.125 inches in diameter and has some good weight to it yet is still flexible. Please email me for more information or other pictures.
