sterling silver elizabethan dish

The Elizabethan dish is thought to originate from a silver banqueting service commissioned by Sir Christopher Harris between 1599 and 1601 and which was made from silver recovered from a Spanish ship sunk during the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588. During the English civil war in 1645, the dinner service was buried on Dartmoor for safekeeping and was only re-discovered in the early 20th century, since when copies have been made. This replica hand-crafted from sterling silver, has a classic polished finish and makes the perfect starring centrepiece on any dinner table. 7' 3/4 in diameter, weight 404g.
