CITY OF NORWICH. 311 NORWICH. The arms of the city of Norwich are : Gules, a castle stirmounted with a tower argent, in base a lion passant guardant or. Tn Norwich, plate was assayed and marked at an early period, and some specimens are existing among the Corporation plate of the date 1567. An annual letter seems to have been used, for we find on a gilt cylindrical salt and cover, elaborately chased with strap- " The Gyfte of Peter work and elegant borders, this inscription : Reade, Esquiar.'' The plate-<strong>marks</strong> are: i. The Arms of Norwich, viz., a castle surmounted with a tower, in base a lion passant guardant 2. A Roman ; capital D and ; 3. Cross-mound (cr orb and cross) within a lozenge. It was therefore made and stamped at Norwich in 1 568, for Peter Reade died in that year. Among the records of the Corporation of Norwich we see that in 1624 the mark of a castle and lion was delivered by the Mayor and Corporation to the Wardens and Searcher of the trade of goldsmiths; the city was reappointed an assay town in 1700; and in July I, 1702, Mr. Robert Harstonge was sworn assayer of gold and silver to the Company, although we have never met with any plate with <strong>marks</strong> of Norwich after that date. A cocoa-nut cup, mounted in silver, bears the city arms of castle and lion and a rose crowned, with the date mark, a Roman capital S.- Messrs. Hunt and Roskell. The stamp of a rose is frequently found on plate of the sixteenth century, and is thought to denote the Norwich Assay Office, being, as in the piece just alluded to, found by the side of the city arms. A silver-mounted cocoa-nut cup in the South Kensington Museum bears the impress of a rose crowned, a date letter R, and the maker's mark, a star. It has the date of presentation, 1576, engraved upon it. Among the Corporation plate is a gilt tazza cup on a short baluster stem. Engraved round the edged in cusped letters is the " THE MOST HERE OF IS DVNE BY PETER following inscription : Peterson." He was an eminent goldsmith at Norwich in the reign of Queen Elizabeth. In the bottom of the bowl are engraved, within a circle, the arms of the city of Norwich, viz., gules a castle surmounted with a tower argent, in base a lion passant guardant or. Two plate-<strong>marks</strong> have existed on the edge of the bowl. One of these seems to bear the arms of the city in an escutcheon, which was used to distingu'sh the plate made and assayed at Norwich, and the other a cross-mound. English work, the latter half of the sixteenth century. There are two other cups of similar character belonging to the Corporation, on one of w'hich are the following assay <strong>marks</strong>, the lion, leopard's face, a covered cup, and letter. All three were probably the gift of John Blenerhasset, whose arms are engraved within one of them. He was steward of the city in 1563, and one of the
