I think it looks more like Lopez. Robert Lopez paints tiles and other ceramics, etc. Your tile although the theme is old, is modern.

BB, I found a terriffic website about WMF. It states that they began in 1880.
My info said they started in 1853 and that my Claret Jug was from 1858. "My info" was Guenter Staffa, of Cloppenburg, Germany in an e-mail dtd 6-21-2003. He was accumulating info for a forth-coming book at that time.
My pc is W.M.F.M. The last M. stands for the base metal, brass, which is "messing" in German. The dots or periods were used in the early days of their operation. Beneath is "I/o" (the I is slanted same as the slash). That's an upper case "i", not a "1".
According to Guenter it "...refers to the thickness of the silver-plating; one gram deposited silver per square decimetre."

Susan, had you posted this in Discussions (directly above Comment Wall) then all comments and replies would stay together. In the comment wall. As is, your comments will disappear in a month or two.
You need to post your new pictures so everybody can see them, not just me. (Susan sent me an e-mail with pics).
I can now see that the mark by the wing-nut DOES NOT read WMF...it looks like WM. Dunno if that's good or bad.
You call "it" a Merman, but "it" looks like boobs on her chest...muscular mermaid?
BikerBonnie, "wow", I have a Claret Jug ca 1858 by WMFM with 1/x on it. Previously researched.

Susan, DISCUSSIONS such as yours belongs in the DISCUSSIONS wall. You're in the Comment Wall.
Your item is called a Tazza. I can see some letters near the thumb-nut, partially hidden by it. Can you remove the nut and decipher what it says? I think the first letter is W and the second, an M which leads me to believe it was made by WMF, a German foundry which began in 1853 and is still operating. There might be a tiny mark that looks like "1/x" which is the old metric system of silver plating. Also, sometimes there is another letter that follows the WMF, like WMFM. M=brass. The base metal of YOUR piece is "German silver" which consists of copper, zinc and nickel. "Silver" refers to the color, not metal.
A jeweler can solder the broken portion; cost $50. or less. IF IT IS WMF, value is $3-4,000, USD.

It has been a long time since I have posted anything on here, and I am probably totally messing it up. These pictures are from an item that belonged to my parents It looks like a silver (?) bowl with stand. The stand has broken away for the bowl. The base is of a merman blowing on a shell. No idea what it is or if it is real silver. On the very bottom there are some etchings. The name STEPP is my parents last name. The design is definitely nautical. But I really don't know anything about it, and my parents have passed on. Thanks for any help.
