In general, do NOT put silver in a dishwasher.
Deep Silver was offered by International Silver during the 1960s. Patterns in Deep Silver were more expensive than regular silver-plated flatware, yet less expensive than sterling. The company promoted Deep Silver as having a heavy plating combined with a bar of sterling at the places the utensils rested on the table. In other words, the buyer did not have to worry about a loss of silver on the back of a fork or spoon where it rested on the table as that spot was reinforced with a small bar of sterling silver. Typically, that spot is the first place that begins to show wear. At some point (1970s?) the company stopped making Deep Silver but continued some of the same patterns in regular silver-plate. My set of Deep Silver is almost fifty years old and shows no loss of plating.
The value of international deep silver Korea flatware can vary based on several factors, including the specific pattern, age, condition, and current market demand. Generally, international deep silver flatware sets can range in value from $50 to $500 or more, with rare or highly sought-after patterns commanding higher prices. It is recommended to research recent sales of similar items or consult with antique silverware experts to determine a more precise value for your specific pieces.
The marking "Deep Silver" on international silver typically indicates that the piece is made of a silver-plated material rather than solid silver. It suggests a thicker layer of silver plating, which may provide better durability and a more substantial appearance. This term is often associated with quality silverware or decorative items, aiming to distinguish it from lower-quality plated goods. Always verify with a reliable source or expert for the specific item, as markings can vary by manufacturer.
International Silver is, as far as I can tell, a brand owned by the Lifetime Sterling company, and is sterling silver, which is real silver but not pure silver.
