i got this bowl/casserole dish at a sale from a friend.  it is heavy and old looking.  i know it is an antique.  it was made by the meriden b. company in feb 9, 1869, bottom of bowl has stamp, item number 106 and says it is quadruple silver plated. 

The green bottle has a large penguine on the front with a small penguine to the right of it.  The image is raised up.  The sides have lines embossed with 8 lines which curve slightly to the front and back of the bottle.

I can't tell what the symbol on the bottom is, but there's a 3 to the left of the symbol.

There's a o to the right of the symbol.

A number appearing to be "16" below the symbol.
