Britannia Standard Silver Armada Dish - Richard Comyns London 1933
About the Item
Hallmarked in London in 1933 by Richard Comyns, this very handsome, Britannia Standard Silver Armada Dish, is of traditional form. The armada dish measures 1.5"(4cm) tall, by 9"(23cm) in diameter, and weighs 17 troy ounces.
The much admired and well known ‘Armada Dish’ takes its name from the ‘Armada Service’, a set of 26 partial gilt examples hallmarked between 1581 and 1602. The service originally belonged to Sir Christopher Harris, a friend of Sir Walter Raleigh and an Admiralty Officer during the Anglo-Spanish war. The original set was purchased in 1992 by the British Museum for around £900,000. Today, more affordable modern examples are often bought as gifts and come in a wide range of sizes.
