An English silver-plate round serving tray from Corbell Silver in the Queen Anne Chippendale pattern, 12.5 inches in diameter. The rim is shaped with the Chippendale scallop — a quiet eighteenth-century reference, restated in tarnish-resistant silver plate.

The silver plate is the tarnish-resistant kind that doesn't ask for polish — wipe with a microfiber cloth and never the silver polish. Sized for a cheese course, the morning coffee, the bottle and two glasses. The round catches light differently than the oblong does.

For the friend who keeps a teapot warm. The couple who reads in the same room with coffee between them. The hostess gift that lands on the bedside table.

English silver plate, tarnish resistant. Made for Corbell Silver.
