FAQs

Wine labels, or bottle tickets, emerged in England during the mid-18th century to identify decanted contents on the dining table. Makers like Hester Bateman produced notable examples featuring distinctive neo-classical motifs and bright-cut engraving.

Authentic period pieces are typically crafted from sterling silver, often shaped using pierced, stamped, or chased techniques. They feature suspension chains attached via jump rings and hand-engraved lettering.

Authenticity is verified by examining hallmarks stamped on the reverse or rim, typically including the makers mark, lion passant, and date letter. Genuine 18th-century pieces exhibit period-correct tool marks and natural silver patina.

These small silver items can be displayed within a glazed cabinet, mounted on a miniature display stand, or used traditionally around the neck of a crystal decanter on a sideboard.

Clean sterling silver infrequently using a soft microfibre cloth and a gentle, non-abrasive silver polish to preserve the original hallmarks and patina. Avoid harsh chemical dips, which can strip the aged surface finish.
