- Feather Edge - A feather edge on a silver item refers to a decorative border that is created by using a series of thin, closely spaced lines that resemble the feathers of a bird. The feather edge design, first applied in Britain circa 1765, is often applied to the edges or rims of silver plates, bowls, or other hollow ware to create a decorative border. It's a common design element in antique and vintage silver items and is also used on modern pieces. The feather edge is created by hand, using a specialized tool called a burin, and is often combined with other decorative elements, such as engraving or chasing, to create a unique and ornate design.
- George Iii - George III (1738 - 1820) was King of Great Britain and Ireland from 1760 to 1820.
