A round silver-plate serving tray for the cheese course, the morning coffee, or a bottle and two glasses. 12.5 inches across, with a scalloped Chippendale rim.

Corbell Silver makes it in English silver plate in the Queen Anne pattern, finished to resist tarnish so it does not ask for polish. The scalloped rim is an eighteenth-century reference, and a round tray catches light differently than an oblong one.

For the friend who keeps a teapot warm. For the couple who reads in the same room with coffee between them. For the Christmas host, with the cheese already on it.
