Sugar caster - .800 silver

Silver sugar bowl with lid, characterized by a beaded body and decorated handles.
The object has a cup shape with vertical grooves (fluting).
It is equipped with two side handles and a lid with a shaped knob.
The sugar bowl rests on a round base with a decorated edge.
Visible hallmarks indicate that the object is made of silver with a purity of 800 thousandths and was produced in Rome, Italy.
Analysis of the punches
The number 800 (on the right, inside an oval) indicates the silver purity grade. It means that the metal alloy is composed of 80% pure silver and the remaining 20% of other metals, usually copper.
The manufacturer identification mark (on the left, inside a polygonal lozenge) contains the letters RM, the abbreviation for the province of Rome.
The specific shape of the punches indicates that the object was likely made between 1934 and 1970, with a high probability during the Fascist period (1935-1945), as a similar object has been identified with the 'RM 48' mark from that era.
