Analysis of the Hallmarks and the Signature
Mark [R] 7+10g: The letter "R" inside a square indicates a "Filled" (or laminated) object. It means the body of the work is in non-precious material (probably ceramic or resin) coated with a silver layer. The designation "7+10g" specifies the minimum and maximum amount of silver used.
Oval with "925": Indicates the fineness of the silver used for the outer layer, i.e., sterling silver (925 parts per 1000).
Signature: The piece bears an autograph signature (probably "Alberti" or similar) engraved directly on the plate, common in art pieces produced by studios such as Ottaviani or Moroni, specialists in silver bas-reliefs.
Code "e 7": May refer to a serial number, a specific model of the collection, or an internal reference of the production laboratory.
Size: 33.9 × 39 × 2.9 cm (Length × Height × Thickness).
