An elegant vintage silver-plated tray with a softly scalloped edge and restrained mid-century character. The simple circular form gives the piece a versatile decorative quality, equally suited to use as a serving tray or as a display surface for candles, glassware, perfume bottles and other small objects.
The tray is made from nickel silver (Alpaka) and finished with a fine layer of silver plating. The reverse is stamped “FAK [crown] 1 MA NS ALP”, indicating the nickel silver base, together with an additional maker's mark featuring a “U” within a circle.
Its understated form and gently aged surface reflect the practical elegance of European mid-century tableware.
