That site said that it is worth $100-200 bucks. I think I will hold on to it though and make some type of candle alter type thingy with it.

It belonged to my grandparents. My mom thinks its just a serving platter. Shes not sure, that just her guess. I feel like it should be some sort of alter. Placing candles on and around it. Mine has a stamp in the center on the back. "Kensington" with a stags head image. I looked that up and it seems to be just a decorative platter. This particular peice is the "18 zodiac platter, there are a few different sizes. I also came across a Kensington Compass platter, It has the same gold ring but instead of the zodiac symbols it has "N", "E", "S", "W" along with designs like light houses that sort of thing. It has a compas rose etched in the center. I have the same dish at my house. It belonged to my grandparents. My mom thinks its just a serving platter. Shes not sure, that just her guess.
