Vintage Silver-Plated Serving Trays: Oval Bonbon Dish and Circular Pierced Tidbit Tray

This set consists of two vintage silver-plated serving pieces, likely of Mid-Twentieth Century American or British manufacture. The first is an oval-shaped bonbon or candy dish with a fixed, twisted rope-style handle over the top. It features an etched floral pattern in the well and a gadrooned or chased floral decorative border along the rim. The second piece is a circular tidbit tray or sandwich plate featuring a prominent center loop handle. This circular tray exhibits intricate pierced or openwork detailing in a starburst or floral motif around the central well. Both items appear to be silver over a base metal like brass or copper. Regarding condition, both pieces show significant oxidation and heavy tarnish, particularly the circular tray where the silver plating is compromised, showing dark spotting and potential 'bleeding' of the base metal (patina). There are visible surface scratches and signs of regular use. These pieces represent a classic Edwardian-revival style popular in mid-century tabletop decor, characterized by delicate piercing and floral engraving aimed at domestic elegance.
