Your dish is beautiful and by William Hutton & Sons, a manufacturer of fine silver and plated wares, located in Sheffield, England.

The "BP" means "British Plate" so your dish is not sterling.

Thanks heaps solver. Still a good pickup. Your link was brilliant. Theres also a small stamped 4 near the other marks. Any ideas?
Hi Peterdrury,
It is possible the 4 is a journeyman's mark. A journeyman was a qualified craftsman who worked for a master. They were often assigned a mark or a number in order to have a count if how many pieces he had produced and also as quality control as the master would know which of his men had produced what piece.
Thanks ladysalt. Youse guys are great.
Indeed a beauty!
