Antique Meriden B Co. Silver Plated Handled Serving Dish Sauce Pan - Late 1800’s

Patented in 1869 so from late 1800s .. marked with 2 1/2 on bottom , maybe how many quarts . Can be used as a pan or for serving food but also could be upcycled into something else .. would be a nice fruit bowl on counter or could even go under a big plant .. 12 in across including handles , pan portion is 9.5 in across and pan is 2.5 in tall .. has some nice patina and in  Good condition for its age , has some scratches and wear .. please see pics. READ *********WHEN I WAS ALMOST DONE PHOTOGRAPHING I NOTICED THE PAN HAS LIKE A CRACK WHERE THE HANDLE ATTACHES, CANT SEE FROM OUTSIDE . Crack is closer to the top so it can still hold liquid . This is not very noticeable and is from years of pressure on handles from use for over 150 years ! Cant see thru to other side its still closed .. looks like theres lines on inside where all handles are
