The intimation in the English newspapers 10 the
effect that the famous gold service Of King George
" used at the state banquet given at Wind
sor Castle by Edward VII. in honor OF the King
and Queen Of ITALY, is misleading For the ser
in question is not OF gold. but merely OF silver
gilt in fact although the contents OF the plate
rooms OF the King Of England have been esti-
mated at value of s1O0O0.0co they comprise only
four pieces Of actually gold plate namely. three
saIvers and a punch bowl The Duke Of Marlbor-
ough has a couple of massive gold ice pals pre-
sented by Queen Anne to his sncestress, the
famous Sarah, first Duchess Of Marlborough Lord
Derby has a chocolate cup and cover Of pure gold
and Exeter College, Oxford has likewise a cup
and cover OF solid gold But these are, according
10 recognized experts. the only pieces OF actual
gold plate in existence in Great Britain Nor is
there any really gold plate in this country, and the
so-called gold dinner services in the possession Of
the very rich people are invariably made Of silver
gilt.
