They have a standard pepper rim decorations and an old portugese hallmarks.
What does puzzle me is the armorial on the rim,
which does not appear to be european in origin.
Could it be that the deposed Emperor of Brasil,
Pedro the II or one of his relations, having fallen
upon the straightened circumstances,
has flogged those chargers onto the London market?
Does anybody recognise the Coat of Arms?
Any help keenly anticipated.
