Thanks to the unique hallmarking system, it is possible to tell when, where, by whom, and with what quality of metal most pieces of silver and Sheffield plate were made. This compact, pocket-sized guide from Miller’s shows how to decipher this system, and to read the history behind the marks. A full introduction explains how to understand the marks and distinguish between silver, plate, and electroplate, followed by a look at all the marks of the major British, Irish, and American assay guilds. The pages are packed with lists of key manufacturers, designers, and patterns, and are supported by detailed glossaries. Full color photographs throughout of sample silverware and marks help to date and authenticate pieces.

There is a highly motivated market of dealers and collectors. Although their market has burgeoned strongly in the past couple of years, their dealings have been pretty much in the dark. There has been too little reference material to draw upon and use. This revised work represents modern, ongoing research into the identification of the marks used on electroplated wares and their attributions. This book will now attribute more pieces to their respective makers and it is expected that dealers and collectors alike will benefit from the uplift in prices that identification brings.
