The firm operated independently as Elkington & Co. from 1861 until 1963. It was then taken over by British Silverware, Ltd. In 1971 British Silverware, Ltd. became a subsidiary of Delta Metal Co.

FAQs

An entree dish is a lidded serving vessel designed to keep food warm at formal dining tables. Originating in the 18th century and widely produced through the Victorian era, these dishes feature removable handles allowing the domed lid to be inverted and utilised as a second serving tray.

Victorian silver-plated entree dishes were manufactured by electroplating a thin layer of pure silver onto a base metal, typically electroplated nickel silver (EPNS) or copper. The components, including gadrooned borders and cast loop handles, were assembled with soldered fittings and decorated with engraving.

Authentic Elkington silver plate features stamped manufacturer marks, often including the company name, a letter code corresponding to the year of manufacture, and an electroplating quality mark. The weight, hand-engraved heraldic crests, and construction details of the lock-mechanism handles also indicate period authenticity.

These dishes function well on a dining table or sideboard as decorative storage solutions for trinkets, or as standalone statement pieces on open shelving. When displayed with lids detached, both halves can be used to display fruits or decorative objects.

Clean silver-plated items using a non-abrasive silver polish applied with a soft cotton cloth to avoid wearing down the silver layer. Prevent tarnish by storing pieces in anti-tarnish cloth bags and washing them by hand in warm soapy water rather than using a dishwasher.
