This is a two piece International Silver Silver Belle silverplate serving set with one standard serving tablespoon and one round bowl casserole serving spoon from a pattern introduced around 1940.
Both pieces show visible surface scratches, rubbing, and areas of darkening from use, with the floral handle decoration still clearly defined.
The Silver Belle pattern pairs raised floral decoration near the handle ends with long fluted stems, making these useful replacement pieces for an existing flatware set or a mixed vintage serving collection.

Collector's Notes
International Silver introduced the Silver Belle silverplate pattern around 1940. The floral handle work gives the pattern an easy visual identity when sorting through older flatware.
This pair includes two serving forms rather than place setting pieces. That makes it useful for someone filling gaps in a Silver Belle service or adding serving utensils to a mixed silverplate table.
The round bowl spoon is the more specialized form in this pair and was made for serving larger spoonfuls of casserole, stew, and similar dishes. The standard tablespoon handles everyday side dishes.
The two pieces have honest utensil wear, but the pattern and serving forms are still easy to recognize.
