Welcome to the forum.

Two possibilities spring to mind, it looks like it could have a scavo type finish - treated with acid to produce a rough and irregular surface. If not scavo (and possibly Italian) perhaps Spanish from a maker called Lafiore.

I agree Lafiore, Mallorca who produce an exrensive line of roman replicas and would-be roman replicas.
