<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Adrian Lewis, post: 2442947, member: 12565&quot;]Correct sir mostly. &quot;Silver plate&quot; started disappearing in the 1840&#039;s when Dr John Wright of Birmingham (although he didn&#039;t invent the electroplating process which was 40 years earlier by Brugatelli) &#039;discovered&#039; an electroplating system for gold and silver using potassium cyanide. Elkingtons bought the rights to his invention and the rest is history. In the professional antiques world if it is not silver/silver plate, it is silver plated or electro-plated. I Britain anyway.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
