P.S. Of course, it could be true that no one knows.

lol thanks im just curious....how does someone know its silver plate tho , does the mark say that ????

All I can make from your photo is a series of pseudomarks, marks to suggest silver on an object which isn't, not even silverplate. Some makers include one or two seeming pseudomarks as part of their silver "signature," but these makers and marks are documented in the reference books.

I couldn't find a match in my books, but I may have missed it. I'm sure if the mark is attributable, someone will be along to let us know.

Agree with Kit that those are psuedo marks, possibly British.
Usually we see these kind of marks on silverplate. Another possibility is that they are nickel silver and were never silverplated.
Checked my references, but could not find that set of marks.
