FAQs

Old Sheffield Plate refers to a process invented in the 18th century where a layer of sterling silver was fused to a thicker block of copper before being rolled into sheets and worked into hollowware.

During the 18th century, tankards were primarily constructed from sterling silver, Old Sheffield Plate copper-silver fusion, pewter, or glazed earthenware, often featuring cast brass or silver hinges.

Authentic pieces often show slight copper exposure where the silver coating has worn, known as bleeding, as well as visible seam lines and die-struck maker markings unique to pre-electroplating techniques.

An antique tankard can be placed on a mahogany sideboard, integrated into a gentlemans library bookcase, or used as a central accent piece on a vintage bar cart.

Clean gently using warm water with mild soap and dry thoroughly with a soft microfibre cloth; limit the use of abrasive silver polishes to prevent wearing down the original silver layer.
