The Dishes are shaped circular in form, with a stepped gadrooned border, interspersed with foliate motifs. The reverse is engraved with their number in the set, in addition to their original scratch weight. Both are very well marked, also on the reverse. Each border is engraved with the Armorial, Coronet, Supporters and Motto “Semper Paratus” which were as used by Hugh Edward Henry Clifford, 5th Baron Clifford of Chudleigh (1756-1793). The Arms in the centre are those of Langdale, as he married Aoolonia, daughter of the 5th Baron Langdale. The Dishes are in excellent condition and have a deep bowl for serving a variety of foods on the dining table. Edward Aldridge, had a very fine reputation for exceptional pieces, especially pierced baskets. His first mark was entered on 5th February, 1724 and he had workshops in St. Leonard’s Court, Foster Lane, when these dishes were made.
