“The service bears the ‘Armani Casa’ hallmark, used by the Giorgio Armani Group’s design house since the 2000s. It is accompanied by the ‘925’ hallmark, guaranteeing sterling silver, as well as an oval Italian silversmith’s mark (partially legible), typical of hallmarks standardized after 1968. Based on its shape and typography, it could correspond to a workshop in the Vicenza or Padua region, areas traditionally associated with the production of contemporary silverware for Italian luxury brands. Production can be dated to the 2000s–2010s.”
