Old Sheffield Plate Egg Cruet

19th century
Description

An interesting and rare Old Sheffield Plate EGG CRUET.

The frame holds its set of six original egg cups and pair of salt and pepper pots, with a reeded carrying handle to the centre. 8.5ins wide; 7ins high; 5ins deep. (21.5x18 x12.5cms)

**Old Sheffield Plate is a layered combination of copper and silver used in the 18th and early 19th century as a substitute for the then prohibitively expensive sterling silver. Invented (accidentally) by Thomas Boulsover in 1743, it was produced by fusing together a thick layer of copper between two thinner layers of silver to make the wide variety of items that are so preciously collected today.
