Finding the Right Sheffield-silverplate for You

Sheffield silverplate is a durable combination of thin silver sheets and comparatively thicker sheets of copper that was used to create a variety of household objects for years. On 1stDibs, find a collection of antique and vintage Sheffield silverplate and other silverplate for all of your formal dining and entertaining needs.

A cutler named Thomas Boulsover, who worked for a cutlers company in Sheffield, England, accidentally invented what we now call Sheffield silverplate during the 1700s. While working on a decorative knife for a customer — the metalworkers guild had been tasked with repairing its handle — Boulsover mistakenly overheated the silver and noticed that the knife’s layers of silver and copper melded together, creating an impressive bond. This new material felt like silver but was substantially cheaper. It was then used to produce a variety of serveware, candlesticks, buttons, tea sets and more. For families that couldn’t afford the sterling-silver tureens that were used to serve soup in the upper-class English homes at the time, this was good news. They could impress guests with housewares that looked like sterling silver but actually weren't.

Today, just as pewter collectibles and sterling silver are popular with collectors at neighborhood flea markets, antique Sheffield silverplate housewares are sought after for their appearance and rich history. Sheffield silverplate can command high prices on the secondhand market.

Securing yourself a Sheffield silverplate piece is like acquiring a little bit of history. In order to identify authentic Sheffield silverplate, you need to look for one significant attribute of the material. A metalworker had to ensure that all of the exposed edges of a particular piece had to be covered with a rim of silver. If not, the middle layer, which comprised copper, would show through. This would reveal that the piece was not sterling silver.

Don’t just trot out your matching crystal, silver and porcelain once or twice a year. Make a habit of mixing high and low when setting the table. To pair with your everyday contemporary tableware, find antique and vintage Sheffield silverplate on 1stDibs as well as silverplate by goldsmith and tableware companies such as Christofle, Elkington & Co. and more.

Questions About Sheffield Punch Bowl
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    You can do a lot of things with a punch bowl besides simply serving punch at a party. Use it to hold fresh fruit or fill it up with water to showcase floating candles. You can also fill it with decorative objects or dried or silk flowers. On 1stDibs, find a selection of antique and vintage punch bowls.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To tell if your punch bowl is crystal, hold it up to the sunlight. If you can see a rainbow prism of color, this indicates crystal. If not, the bowl is glass. You can shop a range of antique and vintage crystal pieces on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    You can tell if a punch bowl is real crystal by holding it up to the light. The lead will give it a refractive quality. An authentic crystal punch bowl will sparkle in the light—the more lead it contains, the more it will sparkle. Shop a collection of crystal punch bowls from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    A punch bowl spoon is called a ladle. A ladle typically will have a hook at the end of the handle to help prevent it from slipping into the punch bowl between uses. It may also have a spout at one side of the dipper to allow for precise pours. Find a selection of vintage and contemporary ladles on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJune 30, 2023
    To find out if antique silver punch bowls are worth anything, experts recommend that you consult a certified appraiser. Antique silver punch bowls can be highly sought after and valuable, depending on a variety of factors like how well they are cared for, their origin and maker. Often called the “Queen of metals,” silver has been universally adored for thousands of years. It is easy to see why it has always been sought after: It is durable, strong and beautiful. (Louis XIV had tables made entirely of silver.) Sterling silver is an alloy that is made of 92.5 percent silver — the “925” stamp that identifies sterling-silver jewelry refers to this number. The other 7.5 percent in sterling silver is typically sourced from copper. Although resources can help you find information about a particular piece, an experienced professional is in the best position to determine the value. On 1stDibs, find an assortment of punch bowls.
