This antique Georgian silver snuffer tray is a superior gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition.

There is a pin head blemish to the surface of the tray; this does not detract from the aesthetically pleasing appearance of the piece.

The applied ornamentation is very sharp.

Full hallmarks struck to the underside of the snuffer tray are very clear; the hallmarks are struck deeply due to the superior gauge of silver.
