True to the premium \"silver on copper\" construction, the silver plate remains incredibly thick and complete across the chased face and gallery, with no bubbling and no black pitting. The base shows light and honest surface cleaning micro-scratches and minor superficial scuffs consistent with careful domestic use over the years. A superb, display-ready example.\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\"\u003eProvenance:\u003cbr\u003eSourced at Sunbury Antiques Market.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"A Nice Old Thing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63569068228938,"sku":"ANT-26-09-17-10-12","price":39.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/9317\/9722\/files\/IMG_8765.jpg?v=1789636220","url":"https:\/\/aniceoldthing.com\/products\/vintage-viners-of-sheffield-silver-on-copper-gallery-tray-chased-old-sheffield-plate-reproduction","provider":"A Nice Old Thing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
