Antique Silver :

Find Antique silver collections from any time period, style, or maker. Individual pieces, such as antique silver-plated serving forks are very popular.

There are two major categories of antique silverware:

• Antique flatware includes utensils such as knives, forks, and spoons.
  
• Antique hollowware includes vessels like bowls, tea services, trays, and vases.

Sterling silver is the highest-quality silver, but silver plate is also popular and retains all of the beauty of sterling.

American silver that is slightly lower in value than sterling is often referred to as coin silver.

Look on your silver for a hallmark, or stamp, which often indicates the standard of silver, origin, and other valuable information.
