EPNS, or Electroplated Nickel Silver, refers to a type of metalware that is coated with a layer of silver over a base of nickel silver, which itself contains no actual silver. This process gives EPNS items a similar appearance to solid silver but makes them heavier due to the lesser silver content. While EPNS can resemble sterling silver, it typically has only a small amount of genuine silver, which affects its value. To identify quality EPNS pieces, look for specific markings and care techniques to maintain their appearance.
