    It may be a soup bowl, but unfortunately, it's not one of Hitler's. It's my opinion, this is a fantasy piece. The party eagle stamp was not properly executed and it's a bit sloppy in the details. Here are some pictures of proper Wellner markings.

      It’s hard to photograph but the eagle seems to match the ones you have shown very well

          With all due respect, it is not fine. It's not even close. I'm sorry you can't see this. In the world of ever increasing fakes, micro details matter. They separate the fakes vs the real deal. I'll try to illustrate my point in the below pictures...focus on the details in the circled areas.

              The eagle matches others on a well respected dealers site
              There appears to be a few different variations of this eagle

                Its fine....if they were reproducing many more would be found...plain period High quality alpaca is not easy to come by.
                And if copied only a die stamp would be made....you could never justify a roller

                  Any piece produced by Wellner was made of silver.
                  there should be a round circle underneath the monogram with the silver content.
                  The silver content was represented with a number
                  your piece lacks both.
                  Most pieces also had a rolled edge
                  this one lacks it also.
                  and lastly, I knew it wasn’t period just by looking at the head of the eagle.
                  look at the eye/mouth on your example, and the same place on known originals.
                  you’ll see the difference.
                  I could go on, but we’ll let it go at that.
                  Cool man cave piece, but not an original piece ever produced by Wellner

                          The serving platters and trays were silver plated.

                            Correct
                            and the number in the circle under the name is the silver content

                              It’s not the silver content it’s the amount of silver in the plating ie how thick
                              these are silver plate not silver
