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.

These silver plate items are being sold on ebay, craigs list and all kinds of auction/sales sites.
