#silver plate

• Alfenide — An stainless metallic alloy formed of copper, zinc, nickel, and iron, widely used as a base for silver-plating cutlery, tableware, and decorative items. Discovered in France during the 19th century by the Halphen chemists, the term denotes a malleable, corrosion-resistant material that closely mimics solid silver.
• Silverware — An assembly or collection of household items, cutlery, candlesticks, decorative vessels, or cult pieces made entirely of silver or coated with a layer of this precious metal; by extension, the term denotes the craft of silver cutting and processing, the shop or workshop where these fine pieces are produced and sold, as well as the monetary or ornament treasure of a family.
• Silver-plater — A specialized worker, technician, or craftsman who performs the silver-plating operation; a person who coats objects with a layer of silver using galvanic or electrochemical methods. As an adjective, it describes an apparatus, a lever, or a reactive chemical bath that has the structural property or functional role of depositing a silver film onto components.
