FAQs

Sterling silver milk jugs became prominent components of tea and coffee services during the eighteenth century as tea drinking expanded across Europe. Designs evolved from simple spouted vessels into geometric and faceted forms during subsequent periods, including the Art Deco era.

Historical silver creamers were typically raised or hand-hammered from sheet sterling silver, an alloy composed of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper for structural strength. Components like angular handles, molded bases, and poured spouts were soldered onto the body, sometimes featuring a gilt interior to protect the metal from acidic liquids.

Authentic British silver features a series of official stamped hallmarks, including a lion passant mark for sterling quality, an assay office symbol, a date letter, and a makers mark. These stamps are usually located on the side or underside of the vessel and can be referenced in assay office records.

A silver creamer serves as a tabletop accent on a sideboard, drinks trolley, or tray. Beyond functional tea service, it can hold small floral arrangements or be displayed alongside complementary metalware items.

Silver should be washed by hand using warm water and mild washing-up liquid, then dried immediately with a soft cloth. Tarnish is removed using a specialised, non-abrasive silver polish, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can strip original patination or obscure hallmarks.
