At the bottom of this flask made by William Hutton, there is a mark "cross arrows".
Is this the pattern mark?

Hi Amena, I know that Hutton used the cross arrows mark on their silver plate items produced post 1900.
As this is clearly sterling silver I can only assume it was put on solid silver items also, I am sure somebody with more knowledge will be able to answer your query more fully.

A simple matter of a Trade Mark. Many silversmiths used their trade mark in addition to the hallmark. James Dixon, Walker & Hall, John Round to name but a few.

Hi Amena,
The 'crossed arrows' mark was originally the trade mark of the Sheffield firm of T.& J. Creswick, they first registered the mark in 1811. In 1902 this business, now styled Creswick & Co. and their trade mark, were acquired by William Hutton & Sons Ltd. Hutton's themselves were acquired by James Dixon & Sons Ltd. in the early 1930's.
As for the origin of the 'crossed arrows' themselves, they were taken from the Arms of the City of Sheffield.
