Engraving of winners' names?

Some websites claim that the back of the Wimbledon Venus Rosewater dish or basin has the engraved names of the winners, but others that the back shows only a reverse of the front engravings. This article is silent on this point. It would be nice to have accurate information about where the engraving of the winner's names are located. David Spector (talk) 17:00, 11 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

BBC, 9 July 2016, Wimbledon 2016: 'Serena Williams should be savoured': “This tournament has been going for so many years there is no longer room on the Venus Rosewater dish for another year's champion's name. Serena Williams is thus the first to be added to a new hardwood plinth that will now cradle the famous old trophy through its next century of superstars.”

This is not my expertise, so will leave a decision to add to others. JDAWiseman (talk) 23:54, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
