It has been suggested that the mirrored monogram 'ANNA' on the present plate is probably another version of the monogram used by Grand Duchess Alexandra Nikolaevna (1825-1844), the youngest daughter of Emperor Nicholas I and his wife Alexandra Feodorovna. She died young, only nineteen years old, and reputedly remained her father's favourite child.
