This elegant mid-century sterling silver round tray by Tiffany & Co. is a fine example of the firm’s timeless craftsmanship. Measuring 10¼ inches in diameter and weighing an impressive 509 grams (nearly 18 troy ounces), the tray offers a substantial feel and enduring quality.

The hallmarks—TIFFANY & CO. T—date the letter and the piece to the John C. Moore II directorship, circa 1947–1955. The applied scalloped rim is enhanced with double-reed borders and scroll ornaments between each curve, a refined neoclassical-to-rococo transitional motif that recalls 18th-century European silver while maintaining a streamlined modern elegance. The form and decoration bear similarity to Tiffany’s celebrated “Lap-Over Edge” treatments, prized for their sculptural depth and hand-finished detail.

At the center is an ornate, hand-engraved script monogram, likely MKC, adding a touch of personalization and history. The tray’s versatile size makes it ideal for use as a cocktail or tea service tray, a presentation or award piece, or a luxurious stand for crystal and porcelain.

Whether used in service or displayed, this Tiffany & Co. sterling tray embodies the brand’s hallmark quality and mid-century sophistication, making it a highly desirable addition to both silver collections and modern entertaining. See less
