Please Help Identify Silver Pitcher, Sterling?

[smith07]

Hello,
I would appreciate any help on identifying this silver hammered pitcher. I was told by a jeweler that it was sterling, but I do think the handle is plated. I can't seem to find any information to identify the marks.
Thank you in advance for any help!
