I CANNOT FIND ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THIS PITCHER (METAL TYPE?) OR ITS HALLMARKS (YEAR AND COUNTRY) ANYWHERE. PLEASE HELP ME IDENTIFY AND GET SOME HISTORY. I HAVE A FEW PICTURES ATTACHED TO THIS POST. THERE ARE TWO HALLMARKS AT THE BASE AND ONE AT THE TOP BACK OF THE PITCHER KIND OF BY THE HANDLE. THE MARKS ON THE BOTTOM: HEAD AND THE OTHER SAYS POSSIBLY: F.HUGO OR E.HUCO WITH A LANTERN ABOVE THE LETTERS IN A DIAMOND SHAPE STAMP. THE TOP STAMP IS THE SAME HEAD AS THE BOTTOM.
THANK YOU

Welcome to the forum.
Those are French silver marks.
I think the head mark is an export mark used from 1840 to 1879.
The diamond shaped mark is the maker's mark, Emile Hugo.
