About the Item

A very good 'Old Sheffield Plate' 3-part entree dish, comprised of a rectangular hot water reservoir retaining its original wood insulated carrying handles, receiving a conforming insert & lid with a detachable foliate cast handle. All three seamed bodies having applied gadroon borders cast in sterling silver, the lid showing 'let in' sterling silver lozenges engraved with heraldic crests of a griffon in profile on both sides A very handsome and most serviceable piece of formal tableware that remains in very good overall condition and priced competitively in comparison to similar examples in the marketplace. 'Old Sheffield Plate' (not to be confused with items marked Sheffield Plate which were much later), was first developed in Britain during the mid-18th century in order to replicate items found only in sterling silver at the time, but at a fraction of the cost. The process involved sandwiching a sheet of copper between two outer layers of sterling silver, then heating and rolling (annealing) it into sheets to then be formed into an assortment of table items i.e. various forms of hollow-ware, trays, candelabras, candlesticks, wine coasters, etc., and even cutlery, which is quite scarce. This process is considered by collectors to be the finest method of silver plating ever developed, but which ceased with the advent of electroplating developed and patented by Elkington & Company in 1840.
