FAQs

Old Sheffield Plate refers to a process invented in the 1740s where a layer of silver was fused onto a copper ingot before being rolled into sheets. This technique allowed for the creation of silver-appearing household items and drinkware at a fraction of the cost of solid sterling silver during the Georgian period.

These tankards were constructed by rolling fused copper and silver sheets, forming the cylindrical body, and soldering the seams together. Structural details such as handles and bases were cast or die-stamped, then soldered onto the main vessel body.

Authentic pieces often exhibit bleeding, where repeated polishing has worn the silver layer thin to reveal the copper core beneath, particularly on raised details. They may also show drawn wire rims, folded edges, or inserted solid silver shields intended for engraved coats of arms.

A Georgian silver tankard can be displayed on a wooden sideboard, integrated into a drinks trolley display, or arranged on a bookshelf alongside vintage leather-bound volumes. It can also serve as an occasional decorative container for dried botanicals.

Wash the item in warm water with a mild dish soap to remove surface dust, drying immediately with a soft cloth. Use non-abrasive silver polish sparingly when tarnished, avoiding aggressive rubbing to preserve the thin layer of fused silver.
