Looking for someone to identify this item (is it a tea pot? From where? Who designed it?, etc.) And the approximate age.
Thank you.

It’s definitely the right shape for a teapot but, as the bottom stamp and the badge show, it is clearly Italian so there may be another use for it. Also, clearly, it is not silver; it may be electroplated but could also be a shiny base metal alloy. Maritima Italiana was an Italian shipping line so the pot would have been one of many used on board their ships.
