FAQs

Silver-plated bonbon dishes gained widespread popularity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as electroplating techniques made formal dining accessories accessible. These vessels were designed specifically for serving small confections, candied fruits, and sweetmeats during afternoon tea or after dinner.

These pieces are typically constructed from electroplated nickel silver (EPNS) or Britannia metal plated with a thin layer of pure silver. Decorative openwork features were produced using press-punching or hand-fretwork techniques before applying the final silver layer.

Authentic period examples generally display makers stamps or trade marks on the underside of the base, along with markings like EPNS. Inspection of high-friction areas, such as rims or handles, often reveals slight wear where the base metal shows through the plating.

Place the dish on a sideboard top or entry console to store small everyday items like keys and jewellery, or use it as a decorative centrepiece on a dining table. The reflective silver finish provides visual contrast against dark timber surfaces or linen textiles.

Wash gently in warm water with mild dish soap and dry immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. To remove oxidisation, use a silver polishing cloth or a non-abrasive silver cream specifically formulated for electroplated items.
