FAQs

Old Sheffield Plate refers to a process invented in England during the 1740s where a layer of sterling silver was thermally fused to a copper ingot before being rolled into sheets for silversmithing.

Tankards of this period were crafted from fused silver-copper sheet metal, seam-joined, and fitted with hand-drawn handles and decorative reeded wire rims or bands.

Authentic pieces often exhibit silver wear revealing the underlying red copper core along raised edges, feature folded metal rims, and lack modern electroplating assay marks.

An antique silver tankard can be styled on a sideboard, gentlemans library shelf, or mantelpiece, either as a standalone decorative object or repurposed as a vase for dried florals.

Clean gently using a non-abrasive silver cream applied with a soft cloth to protect the thin surface layer of silver, avoiding harsh chemical dips.
