What Is Platine Metal?

[Rodge2]

I have a small silver coloured metal mustard pot, with a cobolt blue glass liner. On the base it says 'Platine metal'. Likely to be worth anything, or just for the charity shop? Thanks.

Is not Platine French for Platinum?

I don't know if this is any help?
//Platineve is a proprietary jewelry plating that is mostly platinum and other metals such as rhodium (but is nickel free). It is reportedly more lustrous and claims to have a higher resistance to scratching than other white metal platings currently on the market which makes it desirable in jewelry plating.


You will see it featured in necklaces, earrings and rings under the Platineve branding//

Platine is French for Platinum, so it may be worth checking it out a bit more.

Platinum is 'Hall Marked' in the same way Silver and Gold are.

A silver one here is worth about £50
