Traintime,
many thanks for your contribution.
In this forum I learnt that multiple marks appearing ancient could be Hanau, but I was not motivated to search because I was oriented to an Italian origin of the pieceses.
Regarding the middle mark, basing on the orientation with respect to the others two, I was thinking it was an "acquasantiera" (how do you call? holy water font?) with the initials of the maker, initials like a monogram L vertical and C horizontal. I don't know If I explained myself...
But effectively rotating the image upside down it could be what you say.
In the Hanau marks that you linked there is a bull head too but not toghether with the lilium and the crowned P...
other question is: why is the one upside down with respect to the others?
Could be an homage to Hanau silver?
From where, from who?
many thatnks for now
If you or somebody else have additional hint I'm here
