Questions About German Silver Platter
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Silver platters are solid silver or silver-plated. In order to qualify as pure silver, an object must be made from at least 92.5% pure silver. For example, most sterling silver is around 7.5% copper, which helps strengthen the piece and give it longevity. Shop a collection of antique and modern silver platters from some of the worlds top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024
    No, German silver is not real. Its name comes from the metal's color, not its content. German silver, which is also called nickel silver, is actually an alloy of copper, nickel and zinc. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of silver tableware, serveware, flatware, jewelry and decorative objects from some of the world's top sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 8, 2024
    Yes, some German silver is valuable. However, when pieces have considerable value, it is usually due to their maker, level of craftsmanship, age and condition rather than their materials. This is due to the nature of German silver metal. Despite its name, German silver does not contain any actual silver. Instead, it is an alloy produced out of copper, nickel and zinc. To get an estimated value for a particular German silver piece, use the services of a certified appraiser. Shop a variety of German silver jewelry, tableware and decorative objects on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 9, 2024
    Yes, a silver platter may be worth something. Solid silver pieces likely have value simply due to the going market rate for silver precious metals. In addition, both solid silver and silver-plated platters may be sought by collectors based on their age, style and other factors. Some collectors look for platters made by specific manufacturers, such as Tiffany & Co., Gorham and Christofle. If you'd like to receive a professional valuation for your piece, consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. Shop a variety of silver platters on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024
    To tell if a platter is real silver, search the piece for purity hallmarks. Marking systems vary by country, so research the ones on your piece using trusted online resources to determine the metal. If you can't find any markings, try holding a magnet near your platter. Solid silver isn't magnetic. As a result, you can conclude that your piece is silver-plated or crafted out of an entirely different metal if a magnet sticks to its surface. If you need help identifying your platter's material, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can be of service. Find a selection of silver platters on 1stDibs.
