Van Riebeeck Plate EPNS on the back. Photo attached.
In these examples, the key letters are EPNS. They represent ÂÂÂÂelectroplatedÂÂÂÂ or ÂÂÂÂelectroplatingÂÂÂÂ. The other letters often represent some other metal. For example the most common designation, EPNS, means ÂÂÂÂelectroplated nickel silverÂÂÂÂ.
All these designations indicate that the piece in question is made of silver plate.
Electroplating involves placing an extremely thin layer of silver on the surface of the piece. The resulting silver content is very small. The remainder of the piece is made of some more common metal such as copper.The value of such pieces most often is not based on silver content. ItÂÂs based more on the design and construction of the piece.
