.800 is this vase Italian?

Is this an Italian piece, the markings seem to most closely match Italian markings. It's a heavy hand hammered piece measuring 5 inches tall, has a distinct Arts & Crafts look, trying to determine age and origin. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hi,

Yes, Italian. It would between 1934 up until around 1971. If you can make out the numbers and letters contained within the far right hand mark, we should be able to determine the maker and perhaps narrow down the date.

The impression is so faint it's impossible to read the lettering, but at least I'm on the right track. Thank you
