About the Item
This impressive large-format sterling silver serving tray is a classic example of refined American silver by Manchester Silver Company, a firm long admired for producing substantial, well-balanced pieces intended for both formal entertaining and everyday elegance.
The tray is generously proportioned at approximately 24 inches by 15 inches, offering ample surface area while maintaining a graceful, uncluttered presentation. Its rectangular form is softened by rounded corners and a subtly raised rim, giving the piece both visual strength and practical utility.
Encircling the tray is a finely detailed ornamental border, composed of repeating classical motifs—stylized floral elements and restrained scrollwork—executed with crisp definition. The decoration is deliberate but not excessive, allowing the broad mirror-polished center to remain the focal point. This wide central field beautifully reflects light and table settings alike, a hallmark of well-made American sterling trays.
The tray is fitted with substantial cast side handles, each adorned with elegant scroll and foliate detailing. These handles are not merely decorative; they are solid, well-weighted, and comfortable in hand, designed to support the tray’s impressive size when fully laden.
The underside bears the Manchester Silver Company hallmark, clearly stamped “STERLING” along with the pattern or production number “64,” confirming both purity and authenticity. The surface exhibits a soft, even patina consistent with age, enhancing the depth of the ornament without diminishing clarity—exactly as one hopes to see on a serious piece of silver.
Highlights:
Solid sterling silver throughout
Large, functional size: approx. 24” x 15”
Elegant ornamental border with classical detailing
Heavy cast handles with scroll decoration
Ideal for formal service, display, or presentation use
Equally suited for passing cocktails, presenting a holiday roast, or anchoring a sideboard with quiet authority, this Manchester tray represents silver made the old-fashioned way—substantial, handsome, and built to serve for generations. A proper tray, in every sense of the word.
