ANTIQUE 17TH-CENTURY SILVER IN ENGLAND
In England in the early part of the 17th century styles did not vary enormously from those produced in the Elizabethan era, but two changes did occur. Firstly, decoration became more elaborate and covered whole
surfaces, unlike Elizabethan vessels which are frequently found with plain panels alternating with ornament of one kind or another. Secondly, gilding replaced parcel-gilding.
The most notable alterations which took place were the changes in the shape of vessels. Gradually such items as cups and ewers became taller and tankards became larger. One form which evolved was the steeple
cup, which takes its name from the steeple finial surmounting the cover. These finials are usually of triangular section, cast and pierced, or composed of sheets of silver soldered together, engraved or left plain.
An example is the Cunliffe Cup, by the anonymous maker T.C. of 1616-17, named after its original owner. It also displays other alterations. The ornament embellishing the body, cover and foot is engraved and not
embossed, and the flowers are no longer in tight clusters but appear in loose sprays. The stamped borders and matted backgrounds are features of the earlier style which remained.
The Mendip Cup, now in the City Art Gallery, Bristol, is of interest for two reasons. The decoration on the tazzashaped bowl is composed of a network of punched lozenges resembling Venetian glass of the period, known as vitro di trina. Secondly, the inscription records : ‘from MENDEP I was brought* out of a leden mine’ in bristoll I was wrought* and now am silvar fine’. From this inscription we know that silver was mined in
Somerset during the latter part of the 16th and early 17th centuries.
One of the earliest examples of these cups, dated 1572, is at Christ’s College, Cambridge, and Sir Charles Jackson records another with London hallmarks for 1603; these contemporary examples help to date the
Mendip Cup, which

We do know that strawberries were cultivated in the 16th century and were noted for their particular flavour, which unfortunately appears to have declined somewhat since the dessert strawberry that we know today was cultivated as a hybrid in 1806. The term strawberry dish was used again in the early 18th century to describe circular dishes with raised fluted borders.
The handles of Charles I dishes are cut out of sheet silver and tooled to resemble shells or leaves. Others are cast, usually of scroll design ; the wire handles found on contemporary wine tasters are another variation.
Some of these measure no more than 2 i to 3in in diameter and are frequently seen with punched ornament. Sometimes vine motifs replaced the more usual designs. Although these items have a certain attraction, the
standard of decoration is frequently crude and lacks the imagination and variety seen in the previous century.

is unmarked. Taking into consideration the ornamentation on the foot, one can assume that it was made around 1610.
By the second decade of the 17th century plate became plainer in design and gilding was no longer popular. Possibly the Puritan influence was beginning to take effect. An exception is the sweetmeat dish, London, 1619, which represents a style believed to have reached England through trade with Portugal. In 1604, when James I of England made peace with Philip II of Spain, who had succeeded to the Portuguese throne in 1580, trade was once more resumed with the Iberian peninsula. In 1626 when Charles I had to raise money, no fewer than nineteen pieces of Portuguese plate were consigned to the melting pot. The dish of 1619 combines piercing with punched ornament. The strawberry dishes of 1631, by W. Maunday, again of Portuguese inspiration, show a later development of the style. A characteristic of this period was the light gauge of metal used.
This particular form of decoration helped to strengthen the pieces.
Patterns most frequently encountered are clusters resembling fruit or flowers within panels, or spiral beading radiating from the centre. Whether the later dishes were used for
illustrates the type of vessel devoid of ornament produced in the reign of Charles I and the Commonwealth period. It is said that these bowls were used when it was the practice of surgeons to bleed their patients as a
cure for a variety of ills. A number of American examples are in existence, frequently found with the initials of a husband and wife, dating from the latter half of the 17th and the 18th centuries. Produced under English
influence, those of American origin are believed to have been used as porringers, hence they can be described by both terms.
Only slight variations of design occurred from one century to another. The early examples have straight sides; later they acquired a convex outline and were bordered at the lip by a narrow band. The only alteration in the design of the flat handles is to be found in the piercing.
The term porringer or caudle cup is used in England to describe two-handled vessels with or without covers. Today to avoid confusion porringers are regarded as having straight sides, dating from the middle of the 17th century to 1720, and caudle cups are of baluster form, dating from 1650 to 1690. The name caudle is derived from the warm drink made of wine or ale, mixed with bread, sugar and spices, originally served in these vessels.
The caudle cup and cover of 1656 stands on a salver with a capstan-shaped foot. This is the earliest type of salver known and was the forerunner of an item which has remained in its 18th-century form to the present
day. In the 18th century the capstan foot was replaced by bracket, hoof, or claw and ball supports. The border of the salver is embossed with acanthus foliage, a motif not encountered since the early part of the
century, alternating with ovals and at the rim fleshy scrolls, obviously influenced by the lobate style. Similar decoration encircles the body of the cup and cover with corded foot and matching ring finial. The
contemporary armorials are enclosed in a cartouche of crossed plumes similar to that shown on page nine.
The decoration of these pieces shows considerable skill compared with plate produced in the reign of Charles I, and paved the way for the more exuberant Baroque style which came to England after the Restoration.

SHEFFIELD PLATE
The ‘French’ method of plating preceded plating by fusion. This was achieved by beating leaves of silver on to a metal at low temperature before oxidization took place. The next step was close plating, the only
successful method of plating small articles with sharp edges, such as pieces of table silver. Before the article was applied with thin sheets of metal, cut to the required shape, it was dipped in a solution of salammoniac
and then into melted tin. The surfaces were closed by applying pressure and finally a hot soldering iron was passed over the surface, causing the tin to melt, and thus to act as a solder. The process lost favour with the
introduction of plating by fusion.
Tradition records that Thomas Boulsover discovered the process in 1743 while mending a knife handle. His attention was drawn to the behaviour of the metals silver and copper when heated. Here is a brief description
of the technique. Sheets of silver cut to the required shape and thickness (which varied at

1790. When this was first introduced a high proportion of silver deposit was used (24oz of silver to 81b of copper) to facilitate the technique of engraving without exposing the copper. Later the proportion was reduced to 12oz of silver to 81b of copper. The engraving was carried out by holding the tool at an angle, known as the side stroke, so avoiding the removal of an excessive amount of silver. A third step involved the application of heavily plated bands to the areas to be decorated, or soldering in shields, to facilitate the application of engraving of armorials and other inscriptions. This was achieved by cutting a patch in the metal, inserting a heavily plated shield, and concealing the borders by tooled decoration. Later the application of shields was replaced by rubbing in patches of fine silver. This was so cleverly executed that the only visible evidence is the difference of discoloration apparent when the piece becomes tarnished.

ELECTROPLATE
With the introduction of electroplate, patented in 1840 by the Elkington firm, the old method of plating by fusion gradually declined and within ten years was virtually extinct. Gilding by electrolysis was the first process to emerge employing the working properties of electricity. In 1814 the firm of Rundell, Bridge & Rundell used this method to gild a goblet by Paul Story. This has survived in the Royal Collection, described in an inventory of 1832 as a ‘Galvanic Goblet’.
Electrogilding and electroplating are the same process. The difference is achieved by using either gold or silver. A third process emerged on the same lines, known as electrotyping. This involved the attraction of a metal to a mould previously embossed and chased. When the mould was removed the decoration on the deposit resembled the original in every respect. This was the method used whereby many important pieces of display plate made for exhibitions were later reproduced commercially. The new invention was developed and controlled by the Elkington organization.
The use of copper was gradually replaced by nickel as the difference in colour was less obvious when the silver deposit showed signs of wear. The first step towards the use of nickel was the discovery of Samuel
Roberts Sr who, in 1830, invented a means of applying a layer of nickel between the copper and the silver coating. A later development enabled the fusion of nickel alloy and silver. The process was used for the
production of all types of domestic plate, and the styles followed those favoured by the silversmiths.
Many pieces involving a large quantity of metal were made in electroplate at a fractional cost to an equivalent item in silver, and so attracted a far wider market. Not only was the construction and metal a form of economy, but the decoration which was carried out by electro-damascening or etching (simulating chasing and engraving) required less time and skill than previous methods. The popularity of electroplate declined in this century with the introduction of chromium plate and later stainless steel.
