What is this mark on a "silver" spoon ?

My grand aunt gave me some old spoons she had. They are silver coloured and have Wm Rogers and separately the letters IS stamped on the underside of the handle.
I presume they are silver plated.
Does anyone know what the IS means please ?

@LadyEloise1 I didn't realise you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth Grin

I think they're only silver plated, more Hyacinth Bucket than aristo @JaneJeffer
The spoons I mean not me. 😀

Hello it’s me, Hyacinth 😆

If they’re plated they’ll have a mark like “EPNS”

Hyacinth would keep the EPNS for when Elizabeth called round for coffee
