PRESIDENTIAL SPODE PLATE : OLD SA COAT OF ARMS

PRESIDENTIAL SPODE PLATE BEARING THE OLD SA COAT OF ARMS

THIS PARTICULAR PLATE WAS PART OF A DINNER SERVICE USED FOR STATE BANQUETS AT TUYNHUYS DURING THE 1980's AND EARLY 90's DURING THE PRESIDENCY OF F.W. DE KLERK AND NELSON MANDELA. FROM THE SIZE IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THIS WAS USED FOR FISH. IT BEARS THE OLD SA COAT OF ARMS ADORNED BY PROTEAS AND IS IN A MINT CONDITION.
