A rare and beautifully preserved Charles II plate. The arms are for Sir Peter Pindar 1st Bt. (d. 1693), of Edenshaw, co. Chester. He was the Collector of Customs in Chester and was created a baronet in 1662. The title became extinct in 1705.
David Mitchell suggests that this mark is probably that of Marlyn or Martin Gale (d. after 1682), who joined the guild in 1661.
