EPNS (Silver plated) Cutlery
It is a uniquely British product and uses high-quality nickel-silver blanks, these are then 'deposit plated' to a minimum 10 microns of silver on each piece. Silver is traditionally the 'best' material for cutlery. It has a soft sheen, which contrasts with the brighter polish of stainless steel and develops a fine 'patina' with age. Unfortunately silver-plated cutlery is more expensive than stainless and there are a restricted number of patterns - generally traditional in style. Unlike stainless steel, silver cutlery will tarnish and will need polishing from time to time.
