Cheap elegant tableware
Silver plate refers to a thin coating of silver applied to a base metal, or to items made this way.

The term also denotes tableware or decorative items collectively: She displayed her grandmother's silver plate in the china cabinet.
As a verb, to silver-plate something is to coat it with this thin layer of silver through electroplating or other processes.
