It contains important information about the material and plating thickness: 1. e.p.n.s. represents the material. e.p.n.s. is an abbreviation for Electro Plated Nickel Silver. Nickel Silver: This is an alloy mainly composed of copper, nickel, and zinc. It does not contain silver itself. It is named for its similar color to silver and is often used as a high-quality base material for silver-plated tableware or jewelry. Electro Plated: Indicates that the surface of this item is covered with a layer of pure silver through an electroplating process. In summary: e.p.n.s. indicates that this item is an electroplated silver product with a nickel silver alloy base. These marks are very common in the European antique market. 2. The number "18" represents the silver plating thickness or grade. The number "18" usually represents the thickness or quality grade of the silver plating on this item. Thickness (some say percentage): For example, if it were tableware, "18" might represent 18 grams of pure silver used on a dozen items (e.g., 12 spoons). A larger number indicates more silver used, a thicker plating layer, and higher durability. This mark signifies a silver-plated vintage piece: It has a genuine silver appearance but is priced significantly lower than solid silver products. As a vintage item, the silver plating may show slight wear from prolonged use or polishing, revealing the underlying nickel silver color. This is also a sought-after sign of age by collectors.
