This has post 1944 Italian marks and these silversmiths were in production from 1957 and into the 1970's. The quality of the detail to the borders and handles is very nice indeed.

Condition : very good - note, there are some very fine signs of usage - please see the bottom photograph - with the naked eye they are not , we believe, a problem at all but this digital camera highlights them far too well ! Please note that the tray sometimes reflects the white background material!
