Condition
Excellent
Long Description

I believe the box to be Boite Nature.  It was made by Benson & Hedges.  There is writing on the lid of the box, as well as inside.  It reads:  By Appointment to His Majesty the King.  Also on the sides of the box there is more writing.  It reads:  On the front, Invicible de B. & H.

 Thanks for any assistance you can give me.

Japanese Serving Platter

Long Description

Mark on the BackPicture of the Platter

It is a very heavy plate and is 14 1/2 " in diameter.  It has blue etching around the rim, and a flower patch medallion inset in the middle which looks to be ceramic.  The rest of the platter feels like Bone China with a cross hair pattern that gives the platter a sort of  bamboo style look. I have not been unable to identify the signature.
