Hi Micaela,

Welcome to the Forum.

You are correct it is Portugal. It was assayed at Lisbon between 1886 and 1938, I see no reason why the date 1907, or a little bit earlier, would not be correct.
The silver is of the 1st standard 916/1000

Hi Trev, thank you for their prompt answer. Is this piece a prize cup? I suppose that for that reason he has the date 1907 and had been used as prize in that year.

Hi Micaela,

I would describe it as a two handled cup and cover, but it could well have been used as a prize cup, it looks like a fine piece.

is the finial a replacement or severely damaged? It does not appear to match the quality of all below it.

and I see April in the text.
But I guess that you already have seen that.

I would guess the finial is original, but damaged, since it seems to repeat a theme found in the body of the piece.
