1902 Royal Worcester N & W plated & monogrammed jug

[simplysue]

Hello everyone

I have tried looking for any clue to the maker of the plated part of this delightful Royal Worcester covered jug, with the oh so Christopher Dresser handle, and found nothing.

I hope I have posted the pics correctly (forgive me if they are too big but I do not know how to make them smaller for this purpose). The lid reads N & W in one cartouche and N S E as the plate mark. On the base of the jug is also a monogrammed N & W. The Worcester mark dates it to 1902 but now I am hoping someone will recognise the other mark. Is it not unusual to have a monogram on the bottom as well?

Fingers crossed and thanks in advance

Sue

There was a Norton & White, Birmingham, who produced silverplated wares around that time.
Problem is, my books don't have a picture of their mark.

Good work Tom!.

Oh Thank you! I do not think I have ever seen a plating company add their mark to the backstamp before. And a beautifully Nouveau mark that is. It is underglaze too.

Clever folk that you are - thanks again
