A heavy sterling silver tray.  This stylish, clean and high quality bar tray or tea tray that can be accommodated by the most modern home. The tray features a scalloped edge.  The plain aesthetic can lend itself for many uses throughout any home.  It is wonderful size and will prove very useful.  The make is superb, the likes of which cannot be found today either in design or quality.  Being round it can be perfect to sit in the center of a home bar, or dining table.

The tray is not simply stamped out, as is often the case. It is laboriously hand crafted from sheet metal. When observing closely one can see the small hammer marks into the metal that contribute to shaping each wonderful serving piece. It is also not flimsy, as is often the case.  They are a beautiful weight and quality. Made in Peru during the middle of the last century, a country where, like many other parts of Latin America, there has been generational talent at hand working silver.  A metal that has forever been admired.

The tray is marked on the base "Kohler sterling silver Amand Peru".  Not much is known of Kohler, but many European silver-makers relocated to South America and set up workshops.  Over the years we have been fortunate to handle a small number of exquisitely handmade pieces, such as this tray.  These artisans brought a more European design aesthetic to South America and were able to work with a handful of exceptionally skilled artisans locally to create wonderful metal works of art, such as this.

The tray is presented in perfect condition. It has been acquired privately from a couple who spent twenty five years living and working in Peru and were acquired from one of the finest silversmiths in Lima in the 1960's. This tray, along with a slightly higher rimmed version were accompanied by a set of shot cups, currently on sale on the website too, which were displayed on here. They are ready to be paired up again and displayed on a bar, or to be used and enjoyed! 

Made in Peru,  circa 1960's.
