Hi
I was given this silver platter years ago by my grandmother and have never looked at the marks before. But having looked today and then found your site I am curious as to where she would have got it from and it's age etc.
I think it is an Irish mark, initially the marks reminded me of Gaelic writing and having found the Irish year marks page I think my suspicions may be correct, but I couldn't match the marks to a maker etc.
Any info would be gratefully received.
The platter is approx 18" x 10.5"
Many thanks
