How do I hang a bottle tag?

Most silver bottle tags suspend from a fine silver chain that loops easily around the slender neck of a glass decanter. The chain allows the tag to hang freely beneath the stopper. Heavier ceramic bin labels do not use chains, instead sliding directly into fixed slots on wooden wine cellar racks.

How are different periods identified?

Georgian and Regency silver tags often display delicate Rococo Revival scrolling, pierced borders, and bright-cut engraving. Victorian and Edwardian examples lean towards heavier cast vine leaves and bolder lettering. Assay office marks and maker stamps on the reverse provide definitive dates for silver pieces.

Can I polish antique silver tags?

Silver tags benefit from gentle cleaning with a soft cloth and mild silver polish to maintain their reflective shine. Avoid aggressive scrubbing that might wear down delicate hand-engraved titles. Earthenware bin labels require only a damp cloth to clear dust from the glazed surface.
