Is antique sterling silver valuable to collectors?

Yes, antique sterling silver holds substantial monetary and collector value. Value is determined by total weight in pure silver bullion content, historical era, physical condition, silversmith provenance, and official assay hallmarks confirming English origin—such as those found on this antique sterling silver cream jug.

Will a magnet stick to genuine 925 sterling silver?

No, genuine 925 sterling silver is non-magnetic. Because silver is a precious non-ferrous metal, a magnet will not stick to authentic sterling silver items. Passing a magnet test is a quick initial method to distinguish solid sterling silver from base metal silver-plated wares.

How can you verify that an antique silver jug is genuine hallmarked sterling silver?

Authenticity is verified by inspecting the stamped official assay hallmarks on the body. This antique jug features a complete set of British London hallmarks—including the Lion Passant (sterling silver .925 standard mark), the Leopard's Head (London Assay Office mark), and the maker's mark—all cross-checked and authenticated by Koala Group before listing.
