silver-plate
Coat with metal
Silver-plate is a thin coating of silver applied to a base metal, or objects made this way: The silver-plate is wearing off these old spoons.
As a verb, to silver-plate is to coat something with this layer: They silver-plated the candlesticks.
Silver-plate looks like solid silver but costs far less and eventually shows wear.
