It is not silver. Tina or Tinaa is the Finnish word for pewter. Why the 925 mark I really don't know. Maybe an indications that it is made of 925/1000 pewter???
See also here: http://macacke.com/Garage/Finnish_Pewter.html The mark on your object is, however, missing. The reason could be that the referred site is only showing more old marks and your mark could be a rather new one. Sorry but my interest is not pewter. The word "Tinaa" caught my eyes for obvious reasons.

Please show a better photo of the trade mark left of 925. I could try to trace it if you are interested.
