Provenance

Notes

From (book): Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts. "The regional arts of the early South: a sampling from the collection of the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts"/John Bivins and Forsyth Alexader. Copyright 1991 by Old Salem. (Similar piece p. 89): Variously described as salvers, waiters, and even trays, depending on their size, these objects were used for a number of purposes, including the service of tea and coffee. It has been suggest that small salvers such as this example were often used in conjuction with a teapot or coffeepot alone. The rims of samll salvers were often cast in a single piece, with the sheet-silver bottom and the cast feet applied below the silver solder. The rims of large salvers, or waiters, normally were cast in sections.
