SHEFFIELD PLATE.
History of This Now Very Rare and
Valuable Ware.

valuable ware
Sheffield plate differs from all other
plated ware in that the plating was
done on the sheet metal before the
article was shaped. Before and since
then plating OF various sorts has been
applied only to the finished piece rs in
our electroplating process. Moreover.
the plating was done on copper, while
modern base metal is usually COM
posed Of an amalgam Of copper. nickel
and zinc.
Furthermore. IT is possible for the
collector 70 secure examples OF early
Georgian and 50 called Queen Anne
work in Sheffield plate. while the
rarity and high money value OF silver
ware OF that period make its acquisi-
ton extremely difficult Sheffield plate
historically and artistically IS as worthy
OF 4 place beside old china and old
mahogany as is old silverware.

Joseph Hancock soon got hold OF the

that Il was possible 70 initiate the
finest and most richly embossed silver
ware. Settling in Sheffield. he started
the manufacture Of all sorts OF dones-
tic pieces. Beginning modesuy with
horsepower, he later added water DOW
er Tor the rolling process. Other man
ufacturers followed his example. and
Sheffield plate soon began TO replace
pewter on the tables Of the English
middle classes. Altogether we know
or twenty-three important manufacture
ers OF this ware.
The industry dourished until the
middle OF the nineteenth century. and
so few pieces OF copper rolled plate
were made after that time that they
need not concern the collector. Electro
plating was discovered or invented by
n medical student OF Rotterdam. near
Sheffield. and the new process was
patented on March %. 1910. By 1870
the new ware was on the market ev-
erywhere. and the industry had been
revolutonized.-Country Life In Amer
