Superb Old Sheffield Plate 3-Piece Tureen

19th century
Description

A particularly fine, most impressive and large early 19th century OLD SHEFFIELD PLATE TUREEN in wonderful original condition. With an ornate upper handle and twin handles either side, it comprises three pieces: the lid; inner liner and base. The lid is marked under for T & J Creswick of Sheffield and it is engraved with a personal Crest to the lid and Coat-of-Arms to the base. 17.5ins across the handles. circa 1810-1820

* Old Sheffield Plate was invented in 1743 by Thomas Bolsover in Sheffield. The process involved fixing a layer of sterling silver above and below an ingot of copper; heating this and then rolling it out to produce a high quality and affordable substitute for pure silver that was so expensive at the time. Highly collectable nowadays. T & J Creswick was a prominent firm of silversmiths and cutlery makers formed by brothers Thomas and James Creswick in 1810.

An early 19th-century Old Sheffield plate three-piece soup tureen dating from the Regency period, comprising a base, inner liner, and a domed lid. The metalwork displays a reflective silver colour with visible copper bleed showing through the silver plate, an ornate upper loop handle with scroll detailing, twin side handles, and elaborate scrolled feet. Decoration includes an engraved personal crest upon the lid and a detailed coat-of-arms on the base, alongside a maker mark underneath the lid for T & J Creswick of Sheffield. The piece measures 44.5 cm wide. This antique silver-plated tureen serves as a striking decorative focal point placed atop a dining room sideboard or serving table. It functions well within a traditional interior setting to display dried floral arrangements, hold seasonal ornaments, or stand as a formal table centrepiece during gatherings. The historic construction of fused silver and copper provides a tactile connection to early industrial metalworking heritage for collectors of antique silver plate.

FAQs

Old Sheffield Plate refers to a historical manufacturing process developed in the 18th century where a sheet of sterling silver was fused onto copper under heat and pressure prior to shaping into hollowware.

These tureens were hand-hammered from fused metal sheets and frequently fitted with cast silver handle mounts and drawn silver wire rims to conceal exposed copper seams.

Authentic pieces often exhibit minor copper exposure in worn areas, hand-engraved armorial crests on inserted silver shields, and raised solder joints on the interior.

A large silver tureen operates as a refined centrepiece on a dining table or sideboard, functioning either as a standalone sculptural object or a floral display container.

Clean gently using a non-abrasive soft cloth and a specialised polish designed for silver plate, taking care to avoid harsh chemicals that could strip the underlying silver layer.
