Hello.

This is my first post. My name is Javier and live in Madrid, Spain. I am a small collector of silver.

I recently bought a silver vase, but I can not identify the silversmith, or its origin. Is marked with 800 and a lion with wings.

For style, I think it may be Italian ??? Venice ???

Epoch of manufacture ???

Any information is welcome.

Thanks in advance

Javier

Italy was my first thought too.
If it is Italian it dates to before 1934.
That is when official national marks were introduced.

Germany also produced a lot of .800 silver.

I don't recognoze the other mark.
