Of course the stars are the two figural Bull handles and the four hoof legs.
The underside has a shield shaped mount bearing the makers mark J & Co. for Johnson and Co. of Birmingham.
The rim around the top of the salad bowl retains the original dated inscription "Won By J Coullish 3 Miles Handicap 1st Prize 1888", making this an example of interest to Cycling enthusiasts.
