  • Silver Armada Dishes
    Romantic and misleading stories surround the history of the Armada Dish. Some claim that they are so named due to the fact that the originals were made from silver captured from Spanish treasure ships returning from the New World; but there is no proof for the theory and it is based on speculation around the relationship of Sir Walter Raleigh and his friend and colleague, Sir Christopher Harris. We research the history and put all the available facts together, possibly for the first time.
