  Simply lovely...
  
  Christoph Bach’s craftsmanship in the early part of the 20th century stands out among his contemporaries. The details in this German serving piece just stand out, as seen in the photos. Made between 1900 and 1940, these servers make great wedding gifts or special pieces for any silver lover, I'm fond of giving pieces like these to friends who are moving as a new home gift...a lovely serving pieces like this one on cheese boards or hors d'oeuvre platters are amazing additions as welcome home gifts or hostess gifts.
  
  Christoph Bach, makers mark CB, for the Silberwarenfabrik Christoph Bach, of Ellmendingen, near Pforzheim, Germany, established in the early part of the 20th century.
  
  The leaf motif server:
  5 5/8" x 1/12"
  18 grams
  
  Material: 835 silver (the European standard for sterling)
  Markings: 835 CB, Hallmark of Christoph Bach, Ellmendingen, Germany
  Pattern: Hildesheimer Rose
  
  The story of the Hildesheim Rose, after which this piece is patterned, delights me. The pattern was produced to celebrate the thousand year old Rose at Hildesheim Cathedral, Germany. 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
  
  If you’re shopping around, watch out for Hildesheimer pieces made of silver plate. This spoon is 835 silver, not silver plate. A word of caution...some sellers advertise silver when they are silver plate. Be sure that you can see the mark.
  
  Since it's solid 835 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.)
  
  No monogram.
  
  Commensurate with age, the condition is excellent.
