How can I tell what year my silver was made?

To tell what year your silver was made, you can first try conducting research on your own by referring to trusted online resources. Start by locating the maker's mark and using it to identify the company or artisan that produced your piece. From there, you can look for catalogues and reference sites that feature the maker's products and information about when they were produced. Alternatively, you can have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer inspect your silver and date it. On 1stDibs, explore a large collection of silver wares.
