528. Bombay Antique Silver Plate, India

Cutch-style Circular Silver Tray

This circular silver tray which stands on four small, rococo-style feet is finely chased with scrolling foliage and flowers very much in the Cutch style. The rim features a wide border of finely-executed open-work. A plain circular medallion is at the centre and four other medallions are chased with scenes of buildings including churches (see an example below.)

Most likely, a product of Cutch silversmiths who migrated to Bombay.
