We also have a later silver identical jug, slightly larger; it's details can be found on Selling Antiques (SA1137318) or on our website, George James Antiques (28/2227,) both jugs bear the same crest and were purchased by us from the same family. It would seem that the Old Sheffield jug was loved so much that a later generation commissioned a silver copy to be made some 60 years later.

FAQs

Old Sheffield Plate refers to an eighteenth-century manufacturing technique where a thin layer of sterling silver is fused to a thicker block of copper before being rolled into sheets and crafted into hollowware.

Georgian silver plated jugs were constructed from fused silver and copper sheets, often incorporating die-struck mounts, reeded borders, and heat insulators made of ivory or bone within the handles.

Authentic pieces often exhibit silvered edges or turned rims designed to hide the copper core, signs of hand hammering, and light bleed-through where the underlying copper shows through heavy wear.

An antique silver jug can be styled on a sideboard or open shelving, used as a sculptural tabletop accent, or repurposed to hold floral arrangements in a dining or living area.

Clean gently using a mild silver polish and a soft microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive polishes that might wear down the silver layer to the copper beneath.
