Pair Elizabeth II Modernist sterling silver & silver gilt limited edition wine coasters, London 1986 by Christopher Nigel Lawrence.

The silver shows general rubbing with use and a mark to note, as shown in photograph number 6. The mark is to the right of the hallmark.

About: Christopher Nigel Lawrence was Born in 1936, he was apprenticed at CJ Vander's. He was greatly influenced by Reginald Hill who taught design at the Central School of Arts and Crafts where he attended evening classes and studied on day release. A qualified craftsman in 1958, he stayed on at Vander's for a few months before moving to RE Stone to acquire experience of hollow raising.
There he won the first of his three Jacques Cartier Awards for making a rose bowl designed by Alex Styles. In 1961 he moved to Gerald Benney's workshop as a craftsman, gaining a further two Cartier Awards.
He eventually became Benney's workshop manager, but left in 1968 to set up on his own.
