Vintage/Antique Ornate English Mappin & Webb Silver Plated Comport / Tazza / Pedestal Dish / Bonbon Dish (6/15cm, 200g). Please browse all 12 sets of photographs attached for size, weight and condition as they are self explanatory. An old item but in good condition. There are some very minor use marks and if you are extremely fussy I would say some wear marks here and there but overall condition is commensurate with age. Fully hallmarked at the base and in very good order without any dents and minor wear to the silver plating which you will not notice unless your you look for it. World renowned Mappin & Webb was founded in 1775 when Jonathan Mappin opened a silver workshop in Sheffield, then as now a major centre of the English silver trade. As a natural progression from silverware, Mappin & Webb created jewels for royal courts across the globe, from the Queen of France Marie-Antoinette, to the Empress of Russia and Princess Grace of Monaco. The brand historically held Royal Warrants to both the Russian Empire and the Japanese Royal Household. Queen Victoria was the first monarch to commission Mappin & Webb. Her Majesty’s Golden Jubilee necklace was created by the house in 1888 and was designated by the queen as an heirloom of the crown. Royal Warrant holders since 1897, Mappin & Webb maintains warrants to both Her Majesty the Queen of England and His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales. Mappin & Webb’s master craftsman was appointed in 2012 to the position of Crown Jeweller, the custodian of the British Crown Jewels and is responsible for preparing them for the State opening of Parliament and other state occasions.
