Silver Hallmark Help Needed!

I must have spent at least three entire, full and complete minutes before giving up trying to identify this hallmark. Any help would be appreciated. Also, I am thinking that the lid doesn't go with this item. It doesn't fit rights and I don't think that top edge with the raised decoration needs a lid. Any thoughts?

 

Looks like WMF running ostrich mark

the lid looks fine with the bowl.

 

silver plated...right on CX !

 

THANKS for the FAST response! Drats! Not silver! Oh well...

 

Although the lid has a very different pattern I think it looks great, keeps the flies out.

 

Vitry, I'm surprised at you for not knowing. Beautiful piece. I don't have anything special in my vast amount of WMF, so I use most of it.

Susan, actually, this is the first piece of earlier WMF I've owned. Had tons of the newer stuff. This hallmark is so small it was overlooked by the auction junkies and I got it for only $10.00.

 

Hi,
Gorgeous piece and the marks on these can be very small. I had a WMF covered cup ID'd by Sue. I had for 40 years and never saw the marks. They were in a thin groove covered with tarnish/patina.

With or without the lid, it's beautiful, vitry! Very nice find.

 

Thanks!!

 

What are the dimensions? What would you use it for? (I like it -- very stylish!)
