Ladle w/Croix de Lorraine

This ladle does not belong to me, but the owner gave his permission to post the images here.
There are two stamps;
one is a double cross (Croix de Lorraine) between the letters A and C,
the other is the letter C within a square with cut-off corners.
It is acid tested as silver.

Any information about the stamps, age, origin or anything else about the object would be appreciated.

I'm afraid that the acid test was not done correctly, I recommend repeating it.

If it were solid silver it should bear the mark 106 BO of Augusto Cenacchi, Molinella, Bologna
