Old Sheffield plate, a historical technique developed in the late 18th century, involves fusing a thin layer of silver onto a base of copper, creating a durable, silver-coated metal. Renowned for its high-quality craftsmanship, it was widely used for making elegant tableware and decorative items. This method allowed for the production of silver-plated goods at a more affordable price than solid silver.
