FAQs

A dish cross is an adjustable, X-shaped metal stand developed in the 18th century to support hot serving dishes above a dining table surface while protecting wood finishes.

Sheffield Plate pieces were created by fusing a layer of sterling silver onto a copper ingot before rolling it into sheets, resulting in durable, silver-surfaced tableware.

Authentic pieces often display subtle copper show-through on high points where silver has worn down, die-struck makers marks, and folded metal edges designed to conceal the copper core.

It can be placed at the centre of a dining table or sideboard as an architectural centrepiece, or used functionally as a trivet for serving hot bakeware.

Wash gently with mild soapy water and dry thoroughly using a soft cloth, avoiding abrasive silver polishes that can wear away the thin layer of fused silver over the copper core.
