This exceptional antique George V sterling silver and enamel tray has a plain rectangular form with rounded corners.
The plain and unembellished raised sides of the antique tray have a plain moulded border to the rim.
The well of the tray is embellished with an exceptional, fine and impressive hot enamel panel depicting a bay with a grassed cliff with sailboats to the calm water to the far side and subtle dunes to the hut accommodating beach to the foreground.
A tray of this type is rarely found with such decorative enamel work; usually the ornamentation would be plain coloured guilloche.
