Dear touqeer

If this "mark" is in the middle of the base then it is most probably not a hallmark but just the center point of the metal forming process on a turning lathe.
I think your item is silverplated
I suggest to clean it. Hallmarks on silver plated items are often very light or fine. Maybe you find a mark after cleaning. Also, if there is no mark at all assume it is plated.

Kind regards

Jörg
