Maker's mark J star S

[darwintwain]

Hello all. I am new here so thanks for the accept. I have a silver, London tankard, with a gothic S that I take to indicate date of 1773 (maybe 1793?) The maker's mark is a clearly a J star S. Trying to pin this down. Might it be James Stamp? John Scofield? John Spackman II? I tried to upload pics without success. Also, there is an image on the outside of some sort of bird with a single sheaf in its beak standing atop an inverted diamnond-shaped object (possibly an initial V) which is on top of a striped bar (?) Scratching my head.
