  Two beautiful 800 silver servers, one with the Hildesheimer Rose, and another with playful cupids. 800 silver is the standard for silver made in Germany. Sturdy and lovely, it's silver that stands the test of time.
  
  The story of the Hildesheim Rose, after which one piece is patterned, delights me. The oldest known rose alive today, it has withstood wars and time. Rising 69 feet at the Hildesheim Cathedral, it's an inspirational point for the German nation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thousand-year_Rose
  
  I have guessed at the age, as this piece is similar to others I own from this period.
  
  A word of caution...many sellers advertise these pieces as 800 silver when they are silver plate. Be sure that you can see the mark,
  
  The Hildesheimer Rose server:
  Length: 7 3/4 inches
  Width: 2 1/4 inches
  Weight: 41 grams
  Markings: 800, crown and scythe (typical German symbols)
  
  The Cupid server:
  Length: 8 5/8 inches
  Width: 2 1/2 inches
  Weight: 58 grams
  Markings: 800, crown (typical German symbol)
  
  Since these are solid 800 silver, you don't have to worry about the finish wearing off with use. A simple polish removes any accumulating tarnish. (I prefer Hagerty Silversmith's wash with a tarnish preventative. Avoid using silver dips; they'll remove the lovely patina that gathers in the crevices to enhance the detail of these pieces.)
  
  Free of dings and dents; no monogram.
  
  Commensurate with age, the condition is very good to excellent.
