What is Old Sheffield Plate?

Old Sheffield Plate is an early method of fusing silver and copper together before the invention of electroplating. The technique creates a distinct layered appearance visible around rims and wear points. Items made this way date primarily to the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. They are prized for their historical construction method.

How do I clean silver plate drinkware?

Clean silver plate drinkware gently with a specialist silver cloth or mild, non-abrasive polish. Avoid harsh scrubbing that might wear through the plated surface to the base metal underneath. Regular, careful maintenance preserves the engraved details and original finish. Store pieces in dry conditions to prevent tarnishing.

Were these tankards used for beer?

Tankards and mugs were historically utilised for serving and drinking beer, ale, or cider. Many feature sturdy handles and lidded tops designed for daily tavern or domestic use. Heavier examples could hold pints or quarts for communal or individual consumption. Today they function equally well as decorative display items or functional vessels.
