Mid-Century Modern Sterling Silver Tray with Stylized Grape and Vine Motifs

About the Item

This beautiful sterling silver decorative tray was realized in Great Britain, circa 1950. It features a circular centre with rounded scalloped sides that offer stylized grape and vine detailing in the interstices between the adjoining sides. The grape and vine- a Greek reference to Dionysus- represents a leitmotif throughout the history of design. Here these historically important motis, with their finely striated leaves, cluster of spherical forms and contorting stems appear highly stylized, rendered in a manner referential to Art Nouveau. The clean lines of the silhouette provide a dynamic and modern counterpoint to these ornate details, however, making the piece as versatile as it is aesthetically compelling. While it is a perfectly functional tray- ideal for presenting candies, hors d'oeuvres or whatever the heart's content- it is also an objet d'art in its own right that promises to add a touch of elegance to any side table or étagère that it graces. It is in excellent condition. Signed with hallmarks on the bottom "Sterling 256". 454 grams. Great Britain, circa 1950. Dimensions: 11" diameter x 1" height.
