Huge Decorative Fine Silver Serving Tray. This very large serving tray of uncertain origin and likely 20th century vintage measures 23 1/2" in diameter and weighs 10.5 pounds avoirdupois, i.e. aproximately 168 ounces gross silver weight. The center is engraved in a floral pattern and the edge design, from 3 to 4 inches in width, shows Bacchus heads and forest fable lore including wood nymphs, hunting scenes, animals, grape vines, cherubs, figure groups, etc. Within two small punches it is hallmarked "935" and "JR". It shows slight signs of use and an old cleaning or two, but is otherwise in excellent condition and most impressive.
Estimated Value $5,000 - 6,000.
