This Georgian wine goblet originates from the 18th century and is made of Old Sheffield plate over a copper base with a gilded interior. The piece presents a silver-coloured finish showing visible copper bleeding on the raised edges, flecked wear across the body, and an internal seam alongside tinned detailing to the base. A small engraved heraldic crest decorates the cupped bowl above a tapered stem that meets a round, moulded foot ring. The object stands 17.5 cm high, measuring 8 cm wide and 8.5 cm deep. Positioned on a sideboard top, this item suits a gentleman's library setting for display. The traditional drinking vessel serves as a decorative tabletop accessory in a domestic interior. The construction combines a bowl, a vertical column, and a circular base resting on a flat surface. Householders place the small vessel among similar metalware collections or traditional room displays.

FAQs

Old Sheffield Plate was developed in the mid-eighteenth century following Thomas Boulsovers discovery in 1742 of fusing sterling silver onto copper ingots. This process allowed makers to create luxury silver-appearing wares at a fraction of the cost of solid silver until electroplating superseded it in the 1840s.

These items were manufactured by fusing sheets of sterling silver onto a central copper core. The fused metal block was rolled into thin sheets, which craftsmen then hand-hammered and shaped into stemware, chalices, and hollowware.

Authentic pieces often feature subtle copper exposure or bleeding where the silver surface has worn down through age and polishing. They typically lack modern electroplate hallmarks, displaying instead maker marks, hand-drawn edges, or turned rims to hide copper core seams.

Position the piece on a sideboard top, curated bar cart, or mantelpiece alongside contrasting textures such as dark timber, glassware, or polished marble. It functions well as a standalone decorative accent or within a broader silver collection.

Wipe gently using a non-abrasive microfiber cloth and specialized mild silver foam or polish sparingly. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, dip polishes, or excessive rubbing, as aggressive cleaning will strip the thin outer silver layer and expose the underlying copper core.
