United Home and Patio Sheffield Silverplate

This vintage silver plate shell tray is an exquisite piece, featuring intricate craftsmanship and elegant design. The tray itself is beautifully shaped like a shell, with finely detailed texture and smooth curves that mimic the natural contours of a seashell. What makes this tray truly unique are the enamelled red coral feet. These feet, shaped like branches of coral, are a striking contrast against the silver plate, adding both vibrancy and a natural element to the overall design. The enamel on the coral is deep red, giving it a rich appearance that complements the lustrous silver plate finish of the tray. Its delicate balance of elegant work and colourful, nature-inspired detail would make it a stunning display item for a dining table, console, or a collector’s shelf.
