The marks on the bottom of a silver-plated water pitcher typically indicate the manufacturer, the country of origin, and the type of silver plating used. Common marks include a hallmark, a brand name, and symbols that denote the quality of the plating, such as "EPNS" (Electro Plated Nickel Silver). These marks can help identify the age and authenticity of the piece, as well as provide information about its care and maintenance. Understanding these marks can enhance the collector's value and appreciation for the item.

I have Grosvenor Delphic cutlery some stamp epns A1 and some only Grosvenor Delphic. They look identical. What is the difference.?
Most likely, as is the case with other silver and silver plate manufacturers, the pattern did not change, but over time the marks were changed by new owners to a company, new management, or simply by the mere fact that trends change with time. EPNS is Electro-Plated Nickle Silver. The base metal contains no silver but, because its nickel content imparts a colour more like silver than brass, it's always been known as 'nickel-silver'. 'Electro-plated' means that the flatware is electro-plated with silver. So while all are silver plate in the Delphic pattern, some of the pieces were purchased at different times than others.

How can you tell silver plate from sterling silver?
When looking at silver jewelry, the hallmarks is key, .925 silver is the standard silver quality (sterling silver).99% of silver jewelry will have a hallmark, I have a lot of it so I recognize it instantly. More often that not, silver plated jewelry will have a hallmark that says .925 pltd or plated this is the easiest way to tell. Another way to tell is if you look at the jewelry itself you can sometimes see copper or another coloured metal around edges and places where the jewelry is exposed to oil from skin or the plating is eroding. These are the best ways to tell.Hope this helps!All of the above are true but to know if the item is sterling or silver plated if it is unmarked, you will need to test it. There are electronic and acid testers on the market specifically for this purpose. If it is jewelry then you can ask a jeweler to test it for you. When using acid testers, it is advisable to test in an inconspicuous place on the silver, otherwise, the acid will ruin the finish of the jewelry if it turns out to only be silver plated. We at YearsAfter (see the related link) test our unmarked sterling silver jewelry and it takes about 6 seconds. It's very easy but if you are using acid, please be careful and follow the instructions.

Is a necklace marked 926 Italy worth anything?
Those marks mean that it's .925 (sterling) silver and was made in Italy. The intrinsic value of the silver would depend on weight, but can be less than the market value of the item. For example, a very old piece of silver jewelry from a historic period, or one designed by a famous dead artist, could have value to collectors. A valuation can be done by a qualified appraiser, and requires more information than just the alloy of silver used (the .925, aka sterling).
