Sorry, but it is silver plate !! It is the mark for Holland-America ship line !! Not bad though,, the teapot with same mark listed at $79.99 !! Don`t know if that is current value or a past listing but can check later !!

It is Sola and not Bola.  Sola is the manufacturer.  V Zwanenburg is the name of the designer.

I sure can't make out the design on the front...but it does resemble the Holland Lines logo to me and they definitely had their name or the logo belonging to the boatline that they bought on their items.  Check out the marks on the silver items at this site and see if it matches yours.
