A superb rosewater dish, jug and stand by Elkington & Co
About the Item
A parcel gilt silver plated electroform rosewater dish, ewer and stand, made in Birmingham. The rosewater dish is formed as 'the seasons dish', the matching jug and stand are also similarly styled with classical themes and decorations.
Elkington & Co, founded in 1815, is the pioneer, and inventor of the electroplating process. Dr. John Wright originally came across the use of a solution of cyanide of silver in potassium of cyanide for making electroplated silver. The Elkingtons recognised the possibility of using electricity in the plating process and thus purchased and patented his process.
Over time, electroplating became extremely successful, with Elkington receiving various British royal warrants, and also an Imperial and Royal Warrant from the emperor of Austria. In 1884 they produced an electrotype copy of the Jerningham Wine Cooler which now resides in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
