Hello, do you have an opinion on the mark next to the bigger shield mark? Is it a pictorial mark or a letter mark? AD&Co, or DA&Co looks like the concern, but no British suggestions come imediatly to mind.

Hello again, "silvercollection.it" has very similar marks listed as from the below concern.

Edward Dodson and William Lawson Austin, active at Cambria Works, 191 Arundel Street, Sheffield, established in 1865.

After checking some Sheffield trade directories and a Grace's Guide reference, "Austin & Dodson", do not look to me as a good fit as makers of your hollow ware. They have a classification as "Steel Refiners" along with the manufacture of "heavier" items like tools, steels and files. The question I asked about the unclear mark in your image is answered on that other site though, as being a letter "E".
