Those are UK hallmarks, and old ones at that!
Lion Passant - means it's silver
Leopard head - assay mark for London
Monarch's head - Victoria - which indicates a duty has been paid. This piece is before 1890.
Date letter "U" looks to be 1875. Victoria was on the throne from 1837 to 1901.
There are a number of silversmiths during that period with the initals JG, so don't know who that is yet.
Wow thank you for the info!!!!
Welcome! It's a beautiful jug.
Stunning -- Agree with Efesgirl on everything...... Plus The Lion Passant is Sterling Silver !! Nice Score !!!
