Winedoc, a magnificent investment of unworthy fiat, smile. I sincerely hope it remains in your family for generations to come. It is an excellent example of insightful wealth preservation. I would suggest if the platter could share its “story ” it would be interesting. The hallmarks are English , I assume?
To you and all, Happy New Year….and may the forces of gold and silver win the day.
I frankly do not think “this colorful wagon of a nation” will make it into the pass safely into 2016…my prediction.
