FAQs

Shell motifs have been popular in silver smithing since the Rococo period, symbolising fertility and maritime themes, and remained a favoured design for small serving vessels through the mid-20th century.

These pieces are typically crafted from sterling silver, containing 92.5 percent pure silver, often formed using traditional pressing, chasing, and repousse techniques by skilled silversmiths.

Authentic pieces usually feature maker marks, a purity stamp such as sterling or .925, and sometimes regional hallmarks associated with Canadian silversmiths active in the mid-20th century.

A polished silver dish can be used as a functional accent on a coffee table or sideboard to hold small items like keys, or displayed independently to introduce a reflective metallic element.

Clean sterling silver periodically with a non-abrasive silver polish and a soft cloth to remove tarnishing, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can damage intricate details and patination.
