Featured Help identifying maker two 800 silver enamel sculptures

I bought these two sculptures. Each about 5 inch tall.
Can't make out maker's name. I suspect most likely italian made.
Looks like limited edition.
Anyone can transcribe artist name?

 

What is inside the losenge to the left of the shield? That is an Italian silver maker's mark.

 

You know they're Commedia dell'arte figures? Identified on the bottom by character and region?

I'm more interested in who made it. Since both have limited edition of 100 markings.

 

You do know Argento 800 indicates silverplate?

Debora

 

Actually I didn't. Thanks much you just saved me bunch of money. I was told these are silver.

 

so , who made them..... not so interesting anymore.....

 

haven't you already bought them?

 

No, just placed deposit. So no loss.
Still interested on who the maker is.

 

'Argento', or 'Argenta' as on these pieces means 'Silver', 'Argentato' would indicate silverplate. The small mark on the left, as Bakersgma already suggested, is an Italian silver mark, looks to be '898 MI', would be .800 silver by a registered Milan maker (the shield under 'ARGENTA' is a biscione, a traditional symbol of Milan). Sorry don't know the name of maker '898', nor can I decipher the script name, which could be an artist rather than maker...

I'm confused. Is it solid silver or plated?

 

They bear official Italian marks indicating 800/1000 silver as marked - they would not bear that mark if silverplated (and again, 'Argenta' is 'Silver')...

Just curious - why a wink?

Ditto. Definitely .800 silver.
And they are charming. They could be part of a commedia dell'arte series.

 

Plate or solid silver,I think they are fabulous.
