The much admired and well known ‘Armada Dish’ takes its name from the ‘Armada Service’, a set of 26 partial gilt examples hallmarked between 1581 and 1602. The service originally belonged to Sir Christopher Harris, a friend of Sir Walter Raleigh and an Admiralty Officer during the Anglo-Spanish war. The original set was purchased in 1992 by the British Museum for around £900,000. Today, more affordable modern examples are often bought as gifts and come in a wide range of sizes.
