Please help with identifying, fist and crescent in lozenge

[daria94]

Hello!

I kindly ask you for help me with identifying following hallmarks - fist holding something with letter A or number 1 on top, small crescent with star or letters C or G in lozenge:



Here is the item itself


The item also has this hallmark, but I have already identified it as Belgian import (see below hallmark and description from Miller's)



Initially I thought there were Malta, Belgium or Morocco, but I haven't found nothing similar (Morocco has a crescent with star, somehow similar to mine, but in long oval, not lozenge).

Thank you!

To me it appears the sugar bowl, the glass liner/inner bowl is a later replacement.

Yes, definitely, it doesn't fully suit and slightly shivers inside. However, still fully functional :)
