Silver is listed by material, such as coin, plate, or sterling; by some major manufacturers, such as Tiffany; by the type of item, such as candlesticks, jewelry, and napkin rings; or by country of origin. Countries throughout the world have their own unique silver styles, traditions, and marks. Silver from Turkey and the Ottoman Empire (1299-1922) is listed here. More examples may be under Silver-Asian, Silver-Islamic, and Silver-Middle Eastern. For more information, explore our silver identification guides.
