Silver overlay trivet

[winstonmin]

Hi. I am interested in silver overlay and have seen some Webster trivets (usually orchid design). Are these purely for decoration, or can you actually use them to put hot objects on? Does the sterling silver suffer in any way?

I would appreciate some information.

Hi! :)
You can use Webster silver overlay trivets for hot objects, but avoid high heat! The silver might tarnish or warp. Best for teapots, not hot pans. Polish gently if used often. They’refunctional but look better with light use.
