Appears to be at least 80% silver - maybe used as a candy dish? I think it may be russian or from Persia area (armenian). Any more information or ideas on its value and history would be great - thanks!

Mark 84 is Russian...  

The Russian standard for silver was based on ' zolotnik '. The name comes from 'zoloto' meaning gold. The unit originated as the weight of a gold coin of the same name which circulated as late as 11th century in Kievan Rus. Originally, a zolotnik represented a 1/96 of a pound, later 1/72 of a pound. In the metric system, one zolotnik equals 4,266 grams, 96 zolotniks equal one Russian pound.
Converting the Russian marks to sterling values, we obtain the following comparisons in silver purity degree:
84 zol. = 875/1000
88 zol. = 916,6/1000
91 zol. = 947,9/1000

 

Would be great if you took a more focused pic of the silver marks - most likely the letters are cyrillic.
