{"product_id":"antique-georgian-style-silverplate-serving-tray","title":"Antique Georgian Style Silverplate Serving Tray","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA round English serving tray with a shaped, molded rim, plated in silver over a nickel base. It's right for passing drinks or for corralling things on a console. The mark reads EPNS A1, a plating grade used on pieces made to be polished and used for years, and it carries a pattern number on the face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Dimensions | \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e1.25 in.

The face carries fine swirl scratching throughout, with a circular buffing pattern at the center. The pattern is consistent with machine polishing at some point in its life. I have not established the method, and the original surface is not intact. A small dark spot sits on the face. There is warm toning at the high points of the rim and around the feet. I have not established whether this is tarnish or wear through the plating to the base metal, so please check the rim and feet in the photographs. The marks are crisp and legible. Overall, this is a used antique tray with honest polishing wear and no damage to the form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePlease review all photographs closely, as they form part of this description.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67636979925270,"sku":"ENM-2149","price":275.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/October2026-12416.jpg?v=1791505991","url":"https:\/\/austyn-marie-design.myshopify.com\/products\/antique-georgian-style-silverplate-serving-tray","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
