<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 10573305, member: 111&quot;]Nice images of Platería López - they seemed to have a wide variety of silver in stock.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m sorry if I&#039;m just dense, but not really understanding your comments.&nbsp; Are you saying that an upscale 20th century Spanish platería would not be selling silver with a decorative and historic, if not quite correct, coat of arms stamped in a bowl?&nbsp; Personally, suspect it would appeal to many, including tourists.&nbsp; And why would this piece be any more of a luxury item than any other silver item?</p><p><br /></p><p>If you believe that a coat of arms like the representation in the bowl, with its right-facing lions, might have been in use when the piece was made in 1934-88, perhaps an example could be found...</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding the right-facing lion, I was referring to the orientation on the coat of arms referenced, wouldn&#039;t be surprised if over the centuries of the León lion being in use, it was occasionally represented as right-facing, but certainly not common, even the one you posted is surrounded by left-facing lions - maybe the creator thought it just looked better.&nbsp; Might question the accuracy of the coat of arms you posted, its source&#039;s note:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]530645[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
