Per the UK website BryanDouglas.co.uk, "Until 1742 only silver items were made in Britain but then a process was invented to fuse sterling silver to copper and the Old Sheffield Plate industry started to develop. For almost one hundred years wonderful silver objects were crafted, by hand, from sheets of fused plate and almost everything made in silver was made in the new material. There was no legal requirement to mark Old Sheffield pieces .... Therefore it is often quite difficult to precisely date Old Sheffield silverware." less
