5″ Armada Dish in 958 Britannia Silver
£549.55
Why Choose an Armada Dish?
Often also referred to as Elizabethan dishes, Armada bowls carry a romantic legend: that such silverware was discovered in the officers’ quarters of ships sunk during the dramatic naval clashes of the Spanish Armada in 1588, under the command of Sir Francis Drake and during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I.
Whether myth or truth, these elegant bowls—with their signature gently raised centre—remain highly sought after. They are especially popular as prestigious presentation pieces for sporting events, lifetime achievement awards, retirement gifts, and more.
Traditionally crafted from 925 sterling silver or silverplate, our Armada dishes elevate the legacy further by being made from exclusive 958 Britannia Silver. Each one proudly bears the special Britannia hallmark, reminiscent of the iconic figure seen on vintage British pennies.
Their versatility shines through: engraving options (optional) allow for customization in the centre, around the rim, or on the reverse side—making every dish uniquely personal. Also available in silverplate – click here
And yes, a presentation box is included in the price to complete this truly distinguished gift.
Although the Armada Dish in this collection is 5″ (127mm) diameter – we can make various size from 3″ to 10 inches (75 – 254mm) diameter, in silverplate, 925 sterling silver and in 958 Britannia silver so if you would prefer an alternate size or material these can be made to special order. Please contact us for price and delivery. 0114 238 3518
