Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik as it is known in Germany and why most folks just use the initials.
Near as I can tell, the 'fruit stand' is from around 1910-1918.
The glass bowl is beautiful in its own right.
I am a lousy photographer so my pictures don't do the piece any favors!
On the inside foot of the base are:
WMF
I/O - regular silver coating ... 1 gram of silver per 10 square cm of base metal.
as - antique silver finish
