If you're interested in vintage, particularly silver and silver plate - add me to your followed sellers and be the first to know when I list new items! I combine postage, so please wait for me to invoice you after the auction ends. If you're thinking of bidding on several heavy or large items, please get in touch beforehand so I can tell you exactly how much the postage would be. Thank you for checking out my shop! :) All my silver and silver plated items have been given a quick polish with either Tableau or Nushine which are advertised as plating solutions. Whilst they won’t silver plate your copper (contrary to what they may claim), I do recommend them for taking care of silver plated items in particular, as they won’t strip off the thin silver layer, unlike silver cleaning products. My full eBay guide to cleaning silver and silver plate can be found here .
