The assayer is Nikolay Dubrovin, active in Moscow 1822-1855/62(?). the hallmark's year seems to be 1833(?). The maker's mark is Cyrillic CP. That could be Sergey Repiev mentioned 1838 in Moscow. In Postnikova #2905/CP is unknown to name, .....? Can't do any better, sorry...

Min my saying but preferably call it confectionery bowl. A bonbonniere is ususally a jar with a lid.

Thank you, Qrt.S. Did come to same conclusion myself but decided to ask the forum never the less. Would not be the first time to find here a better answer to my question, than my own conclusion.
+ Thank you also for your correction, which was certainly in place.
Best regards,
