FAQs

Edwardian novelty silver gained immense popularity in the early 20th century, reflecting a taste for whimsical, zoomorphic designs on the dining table. Silversmiths frequently crafted functional items, such as mustard pots and honey containers, in the likeness of animals, birds, and insects.

These pieces were typically crafted using silver plating over a base metal, often incorporating cut or moulded glass inserts for holding foodstuffs. Detailed features were achieved through techniques such as casting, piercing, and hand-engraving.

Authentic pieces usually bear makers marks, electroplate hallmarks, or registration numbers stamped on the underside or rim. Examining the quality of the hinge mechanism, weight, and the natural ageing of the silver plate also helps determine authenticity.

Novelty silver items function well as focal points on dining tables, sideboards, or open shelving. They add a touch of curated eccentricity and metallic contrast to both traditional and modern minimalist spaces.

Silver plate should be cleaned gently using a specialist microfibre cloth and non-abrasive silver polish to prevent wearing away the thin layer of silver. Avoid submerging items with fitted glass inserts in water for extended periods to protect adhesives and hinges.
