The technique was discovered about 1742 by Thomas Boulsover, a Sheffield  cutler, who noted that the combination of fused silver and copper retained all the ductility possessed by both metals and acted as one in response to manipulation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSheffield plate was produced as follows. An ingot of copper, slightly alloyed with zinc and lead, was covered on both top and bottom with a sheet of silver and fired. When the silver began to melt, the ingot was removed from the furnace, cooled, and rolled. The edges of pieces made were rolled over to hide the copper that was visible when the sheet was cut. At first Boulsover produced only buttons, but his former apprentice, Joseph Hancock, later applied the process to other articles.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe production of fused plate was not restricted to Sheffield alone. In 1762 Matthew Boulton began producing Sheffield plate at Soho, Birmingham, and various workshops in London, Nottingham, and Dublin. Factories in several European countries and North America also made pieces by Boulsover’s method. After 1830 “German silver,” nickel alloyed with copper and zinc, often replaced copper as the base metal. With the introduction of plating by electrolysis in the 1840s, the production of Sheffield plate declined and by the 1870s had all but ceased.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Walker and Hall","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45944577130724,"sku":"242501379C","price":225.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0070\/9528\/7908\/files\/OSP_tureen_1a.jpg?v=1736467948"},{"product_id":"pair-of-walker-and-hall-silver-plated-jugs-milk-and-cream","title":"Pair of Walker and Hall silver plated jugs | Milk and Cream","description":"\u003cp\u003ePair of Walker and Hall silver plated jugs \u003cbr\u003eMilk and Cream\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMilk Jug | approx 15cms (6\") tall at loop handle\u003cbr\u003eCream Jug | approx 12.5cms (5\") tall at loop handle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn excellent condition\u003cbr\u003eGUARANTEED free from damage and repair\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roundabout Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45952620626148,"sku":"RA-0007269","price":90.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0070\/9528\/7908\/files\/walker_hall_pair_1a.jpg?v=1736656457"},{"product_id":"silver-plated-lion-paw-foot-cruet-set-blue-glass-liners","title":"Silver Plated Lion paw foot cruet set | Blue Glass Liners","description":"\u003cp\u003eSilver Plated Lion paw foot cruet set\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a fine quality set with proper Blue Glass Liners [not plastic] - it comprises Pepper Pot, lidded Mustard and Open Salt.
