🏛 Maker's Mark Insight:
The plate bears a lion-in-shield emblem flanked by two triangular gothic initials “R” and “K”. These marks are not official British hallmarks, but are commonly found on mid-20th-century North American silverware, often produced by companies like Raimond or Godinger, known for their high-quality Sheffield-style reproductions. While not antique British sterling, such pieces are highly decorative and sought after by collectors and vintage decor enthusiasts.
