“Weighted sterling” or “weighted silver” refers to items such as candlesticks, candy dishes, salt and pepper shakers, and trophies that have a heavy thick weighted foot or pedestal base, in order to keep them steady and not easy to topple over. Wax, plaster, copper, or lead is used in the base to give the item strength, stability, and heft. Manufacturers of weighted items are required by law to label them as such to ensure unwary buyers are not misled into believing the items are solely sterling silver, because solid sterling objects have value by weight. The National Gold and Silver Stamping Act of 1906, along with amendments to it in 1970, enforces this in an effort to protect consumers and sellers alike.
