FAQs

Old Sheffield Plate refers to a process invented in the 18th century where a layer of sterling silver is fused under heat and pressure onto a copper ingot before being rolled into sheets for silversmithing.

Georgian tankards were crafted by hand-raising rolled sheets of metal, soldering seams, adding cast handles and hinges, and applying turned bases and domed lids.

Authentic pieces frequently display copper bleeding where the silver surface has worn away through polishing, along with folded rims, turned bases, and visible solder lines.

An antique tankard can be displayed as a decorative vessel on a sideboard, styled within a gentlemans library bookcase, or used as a table centerpiece.

To preserve the remaining silver layer, clean gently with warm water and mild soap, using non-abrasive silver polishes sparingly to prevent further copper exposure.
