Oneida is a very well known maker of silverplate. I'm not sure how the yard would classify it. I only know that if you leave the decorative piece of other metal on it, it will be considered dirty. A few years back I was dabbling with stripping the silver off of those pieces through a reverse electroplating process. Found out in a hurry that it wasn't worth my time. I do still have a couple of BB sized pellets of the silver I removed though. LOL
