A local ploughman reportedly discovered the heavily damaged silver dish in a field near Risley.
The shattered pieces were distributed amongst finders before being documented by antiquarian William Stukeley in 1736. Shortly after, the original fragments completely vanished.
In 1991, the entire dish—soldered together from 26 pieces—magically resurfaced in London.
While initially studied as a genuine antiquity, it was later revealed to be an elaborate 20th-century forgery crafted by the notorious Greenhalgh family art-forgery ring.
