- Albert Pattern - The Albert pattern is a decorative design that was popular on sterling silver cutlery in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It is named after Prince Albert, the husband of Queen Victoria, who was known for his love of art and design. The Albert pattern features a series of scrolls that terminate in foliate motifs, that are etched or engraved into the surface of the silver. It is typically found on knives, forks, and spoons, and is often used in formal or special occasion settings.
- Assay / Assayed - Assaying is the testing of a metal, most commonly silver and gold to determine its ingredients and quality. In Britain, once an item of silver or gold has been assayed, a mark is stamped on it, certifying its purity. Known as hallmark, it derives its name from the Guild Hall of the Goldsmiths' Company, who recieved its Charter in 1327 giving it the power to assay and mark articles of gold and silver.
