2 pieces I need help identifying

[btalarczyk]

Hello everyone! I have 2 pieces I believe to be silver plated but I can not find any info on the markings in the any of the sections on the site or with searching the names in these forums.

The first piece below looks to be a tea pot but I can't make out much from the marks. It appears to be something like a Celtic cross and then a crown in the middle. The third part I can not make out. It appears to have the name "LASCO" written above the images. Does anyone recognize these marks? I'd like to find out more about this piece.











This next piece pictured below is heavy but seems to be made rather cheaply. Admin edit only one item per topic, please start a new thread for your 2nd item.

The manufacturer's mark LBSCO is that of Lawrence B Smith Co of Boston, USA. The teapot or, more likely, jug is plated - NS in this context normally stands for Nickel Silver, a base metal alloy with no silver content. The shape appears to be based on that of a traditional Channel Islands (Jersey or Guernsey) cream jug.
