    These might be going in the trash unless I can be persuaded otherwise.

    Very shallow ceramic trays with metal pierced fence surround.

    Both cracked right through and uncleaned.

    Very tiny mark on the metal NMB (Nickel Metal B.... Bronze?)

    They give the appearance of being Victorian or Edwardian, BWDIK

    Tea Pot stand / coasters ??

    A company called Dennhorn made such items, the porcelain by Villeroy and Boch. Maybe others did as well. Cracked through and so badly stained, I wouldn't have much hope for their value.

    They are pretty. If you don’t want them, maybe post on a local free stuff type group. Someone may be willing to try cleaning them up a bit, maybe a denture tablet, etc.

    They will never be highly valuable antiques but they might still make a nice decorative item for someone - a tray for a plant, etc.

    Metal mark is for WMF (Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik). Probably nickel silver or even chrome plated. Little to no value in this condition.

    Coasters usually for holding ice tea glass.

    Over here, wine glasses. Pop them in the charity shop, someone will like them.

    Early 20th c. Condition means trash time, sadly.

    Thanks guys.

    I don't think the charity will take these.

    I will detatch the metal and scrap that seperately in a bulk lot.
