Sterling Silver Handled Oval Tray with Serving Pieces

This is a set consisting of a large, oval sterling silver serving tray and two accompanying serving utensils, one of which appears to be a slotted or pierced serving spoon. The tray features an oval shape with a raised, gadrooned or beaded outer rim and two ornate, cast integrated handles at the short ends. The central field of the tray is flat and mirror-polished, displaying a significant amount of surface shine but also some visible scratches, tarnish, and signs of use consistent with an item of its age. The accompanying utensils include a large serving piece, likely a cake or pie server with a pierced decorative blade, suggesting a design intended for formal dining. Based on the ornate scrollwork on the handles and the traditional oval silhouette, the set likely dates to the mid-20th century (circa 1940-1960). While hallmarks are not clearly visible in the low-resolution image, the context suggests this is solid sterling silver, which would be indicated by markings like 'Sterling' or '925' on the underside. The craftsmanship is of high quality, typical of luxury silver manufacturers like Gorham, Wallace, or Reed & Barton. Visible condition issues include surface oxidation (patina) and light abrasion, but no major dents or deformities are apparent. This set represents a significant piece of hollowware intended for high-end hospitality and entertainment.
