Hello,
I'm told this is a Dutch .833 silver decanter. Made in the first half of the 20th century.
Unfortunately, I couldn't identify the marks on the underside. I'm also not sure about the silver purity
as one of the marks is '250'. I'd appreciate any help with deciphering
thank you!

Nice catch Oel, thanks!
Any guess on what that '250' mark at the bottom might mean? Thanks again!

Hi, your welcome.
The purity will be 92.5% pure silver and the number 250, most likely an internal workshop reference number.
