A large collection of silver plated wares dating to the 1970's but which are in as new condition, have never been used and those with labels still have them attached. They have come to us through the family and were presented to commemorate a 50th wedding anniversary. There's a tradition in Wales to 'put things by' if they are of a special significance with the result that these have never been used and were discovered in a cupboard still wrapped in presentation paper which had been opened and then carefully resealed.
They comprise:
1). A 'Queen Anne' make sweet dish still with label 24 x 13 cms, embossed and with swivel handle
2). Another scalloped sweet dish 29 x 19 x 5 cms high
3) A trophy 10 cms high
4). A serving spoon and fork 'Classic' make, still with label 24 cms long
5). A mustard pot 10 cms diameter with pierced border, Bristol blue glass liner and 2 spoons.
6). A 'Celtic Quality Plate' 22 cms diameter bonbon dish with handle.
7). An 'A.A + S.S. EPNS' round dish with lid 18 cms diameter
8). A smaller lidded dish 11 cms diameter with bakelite top knop
9). A pickle dish 19 cms diameter with 3 compartmnt moulded glass insert
10). A 28 cms diameter heavy embossed circular tray with pierced border stamped 'Mayfair, Made in England' on base.
11). A 40 x 26 cms heavy oval tray embossed with flowers scrolling and hatchuring
12). An eggcup, base 9 cms diameter and 6 cms high.
They will be well-wrapped for their journey. A useful lot with Christmas coming!!
