I found this piece referred to as the Scalloped Bowl Buffet Sever but more frequently as the Scalloped Potato Server. The more interesting thing was that I could only find pieces in patterns by Reed and Barton. I'm not sure if this is a Reed and Barton creation or not, I'll continue looking. Whatever the case, it is an example of taking an utilitarian serving piece and by adding elaborate decoration to the bowl's edge, creating a work of art.
