Hi,

Just a guess. The six point star of Tunis 1878-1905?

Thank you. The star in Tardy looks similar.
But they used Arabic symbols for silver purity, not "900". And Latin symbols PH for city or master looks suspicious for Tunis.

Hi,

Zurich has a six point star as well. I couldn't find a master PH in Zurich. The form of the centerpiece doesn't match Zurichs forms. Too joyfull.
Dimensions? Weight? Gilted inside? Age?
