Mistery holy water font

[Andreadb]

Hello all !
I have this holy water font that I estimate might be from the seconf half of the 18th century. It has three hallmarks at the back; they are quite clear, but I have not been able to find anything similar anywhere.
It is quite likely European, but I really cannot place these marks.

The image of the marks is a composition of photos taken with the microscope; the hallmarks are all closely aligned on the back.




Can somebody help to identify the origin? Thank you !!

Hi,
It was made in Milano (Milan) Italy (mark on the left is town mark).
The ``globe `` mark with stars is silver fineness 800/1000.
The marks were used 1812 - 1872.

Thank you, that was a fast reply ! I am from Milan...
The only information of pre-1872 Italian hallmarks that I could find is that for Neapolitan silver. Is there a good online resource ?

I guess that the hallmark with the head and the letters "GZ" corresponds to the silversmith ?

There is contributor Amena on this forum; he will probably identify the maker GZ.
