Amazing... I bought this item on a Swedish auction just a couple of weeks ago, and I had the same problem dechifering the maker's mark so I intended to post some pictures in the forum, but as I scanned the recent posts I found this. This forum is fantastic!
Kind regards / bjojo48

Where does this jug come from?
I am not sure where (in what part of this forum) to post this question, but anyway: I inherited this art noveau jug a couple of years ago. It has no marks at all, except for some decorative ones. I guess it's silverplate; it "behaves" like silver on the outside. Could anyone help me with i...

Re: Sampson & Mordan??
