What is this? Who made it? When? Is it plated or real silver

Tall conical flask with a screw-on top. This object is not lined with glass (bare metal inside) but the cap has a thin cork inset. Obviously the intent was to keep the contents of this flask sealed and prevent evaporation or acquisition of unwanted odors. Approx. measurements are 9 1/2 in. tall on a circular base 2 1/8 in. in diameter and weighs about 6 oz avdp. The marks are stamped vertically. I have looked in Tardy's "Poincons d'Argent" and online, but cannot identify anything about this item. It looks to be made out of silver but could be just heavily plated with a probable European manufacture during the 1920's-1930's.
