FAQs

Old Sheffield Plate refers to a process discovered in the mid-18th century where a sheet of copper was fused between two thinner sheets of sterling silver through heating and rolling. This technique allowed for the production of items that had the appearance of solid silver at a fraction of the cost prior to the invention of electroplating in the 1840s.

Georgian tankards were predominantly crafted from solid sterling silver, pewter, or Old Sheffield Plate. The process involved fusing silver over a copper base, resulting in a durable vessel with a heavy weight and metallic tone.

Authentic pieces often exhibit slight copper exposure along worn edges, known as copper bleeding. They typically feature rubbed-in silver shields for hand-engraved monograms, rolled edges to conceal the copper core, and lack the electroplating hallmarks that became standard after 1840.

An antique metal tankard serves as a functional vase for fresh floral arrangements or as a decorative pen holder on a timber desk. It can also be displayed alongside vintage glassware on a bar cart or sideboard top to introduce texture and historical contrast.

Clean gently using a soft cloth and a specialised, non-abrasive silver polish formulated for plated items. Avoid harsh chemicals or overly vigorous rubbing, as excessive cleaning can wear down the thin outer layer of silver and expose the underlying copper core.
