Italian 800 center piece

Post by AllSeasons »

I came across this big item (3+ pounds), and was wondering if the hallmarks looked legit? It is clearly marked 800. I believe "LAV. A MANO" means hand wrought in Italian, but this is from Google Translate, so I'm not sure. I believe the cartouche says MI 695, which would mean that it was made by ARGENTERIA MILANESE di MAZZOCCHI ALDO in Milan, circa 1960's. This is as far as I got, based on my own research, but would like some expert opinions on whether this item is authentic and solid silver, since it's just so big.

The images are below. Thank you in advance!
