It measures 6.25\" across and has a turned wooden base, as traditional examples do, designed to cradle and protect a bottle while on the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"357\" data-end=\"751\"\u003eOld Sheffield Plate is one of the earliest forms of silver plating, developed in England in the mid-1700s. It was made by fusing a sheet of sterling silver to copper, then rolling and shaping it into finished pieces. Unlike later electroplating, this method creates a heavier, more substantial piece, and you will often see subtle signs of that construction at the edges or underside over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"753\" data-end=\"977\"\u003eThis coaster has a bright, reflective finish and presents well. There is light wear consistent with age, particularly to the underside, and the wood base shows expected surface variation. No major dents or structural issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"979\" data-end=\"1092\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eA solid example of an early technique that is increasingly hard to find, especially in this classic, usable form.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Raspberry and Royal LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54996035961154,"sku":null,"price":165.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0985\/9232\/5954\/files\/76112CD6-077F-43BD-B036-1D44DF82F8BA.jpg?v=1784315240","url":"https:\/\/vintageamericanhome.com\/products\/antique-old-sheffield-plate-wine-coaster-with-wooden-base","provider":"Vintage American Home","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
