True to its age and functional nature, the front surface shows a few tiny, localised black tarnish\/pitting spots within the chased scrollwork (clearly highlighted with the pen in the close-up photographs) alongside honest surface cleaning micro-scratches from careful use over the decades. The silver plate remains remarkably thick across the main chased face and gallery, with no bubbling.\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":63569952702794,"sku":"ANT-26-09-17-11-26","price":39.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/9317\/9722\/files\/IMG_8812.jpg?v=1789640636","url":"https:\/\/aniceoldthing.com\/products\/vintage-viners-of-sheffield-silver-on-copper-gallery-tray-chased-round-drinks-salver","provider":"A Nice Old Thing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
