Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice pewter dish, measuring 9 1/2" in diameter, typical of the type used in the Royal Navy for Centuries. It is clearly marked H-M-S BERWICK 1700 on the top, indicating service on this vessel during the early 18th century. There are also the initials W.C. on the rim, possibly the name of the owner.

The back of the dish is marked MADE IN / LONDON in the center, and to the left is the makers mark for T - S, over a partly obscured 1700 date. To the right is the "Crowned Rose", the Pewter Standard mark for London.

A very nice British Naval Pewter Dish, offered in fine well matured condition and ready to display!

History of the H.M.S. Berwick -

The HMS Berwick was a 70-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, built by Phineas Pett II at Chatham Dockyard and launched in May 1679. She was then rebuilt at Deptford in 1700, again as a 70-gun third rate, and was hulked in 1715.

Berwick was broken up for scrap in 1723.
