    1933
    ENGLAND
    LONDON 1735-6y 12 sterling silver BREAD PLATES
    I am pleased to offer for auction the rare and very collectable
    12
    sterling silver BREAD
    PLATES. I believe they are from ENGLAND of GEORGE II times and
    were made in 1735-6y in the city of LONDON. 9 plates from 12 are full marked. Hallmarks are clear as you can see in the photos, lion passant (sterling), leopard’s head, an upper case "V" (1735-6y) and LONDON goldsmiths’ mark – JS (probably Jos. Sanders, page 195, The Book of OLD SILVER by SEYMOUR B. WYLER). 3 plates of sterling silver of 12 aren’t marked, but all of them are engraved with the same design. Usually this happened when they were ordered as extras and the craft master didn’t carve assay marks because it took some time. The plates were polished. Now, they are in normal usage condition with
    moderate use scratches but
    without
    noticeable dents. Each plate has good weight – c.8 troy ounces. The total weight is about 3000grams or 95-96 troy ounces. The diameter of plate is 8 3/16”.
    This set would make a great addition to any sterling silver collection and would be a spectacular gift. In my experience, a set from that period is hard to find; I do not think many museums have this sort of set.
