Cake stand? Tazza? Hallmarks?



Can anyone tell me anything about this item? It belonged to my parents, and I think it was a wedding present to them in 1940. I always called it a cake stand, but I see there are similar things called tazzas. It’s about 16cm tall, and 20cm diameter.

Hallmarks show an anchor, a lion and a lower case y. The maker’s mark is indistinct. It looks like a M then another letter that might be H, with i think C and O below.
Thanks for any info, Richard

Birmingham sterling silver hallmark, date letter y for 1923/24. Maker’s/sponsor’s mark of Martin, Hall & Co Ltd of Sheffield:

Tazza is just a posh name for a cake stand.
