$1,536.00
Presented is a wonderful antique Chinese export silver tray dating to circa 1890-1910. The tray is fabulously hand engraved with bamboo leaf designs, with an applied bamboo border around the edge and fine hand chased decoration around the rim. The surface of the tray has a finely hand done pebbled texture, which catches the light beautifully.
This tray is in excellent overall condition. There is a bit of surface wear to the center, but nothing of any significance. There are no splits, no dents, no monograms, no monogram removals, and no repairs.
The underside is stamped with a maker's mark, partially obscured, silver, and a Chinese character beneath. The tray is at least 900 purity silver, nitric acid tested and guaranteed.
The tray measures about 11 ¼ inches in diameter and stands about 7/8 of an inch.
This piece weighs 556 grams or 19.6 regular ounces. -jm
