I imagine this piece is a pen holder, but I haven’t identified the manufacturer. It seems to have a name written on it, as I see M, A and N, but I couldn’t deduce a name and I also don’t know who the fleur-de-lis belongs to. Can someone help me, please?

The Chat GPT told me that the word is Argentina, I can’t see all the letters, but the number of letters makes sense and other items I saw from Argentina in silver had Argentina written on it.

For the first marking I understand the same as you, but ChatGPT tells me it is Argentina and it makes sense and Gemini says it is America, which I don’t think. The second is a fleur-de-lis and the third is the percentage of 800 silver.
The Argentine standard is the same Argentina, the silversmith’s symbol and the percentage of silver.

Sometimes the answer is obvious, just change the angle you look at it, other times you just need to change the observer

probably a mussie tussie or posy holder or, more mundanely, a bud vase
