Over the years, I have searched many times for something similar and have never once found anything. What is particularly notable about the piece is that it was gifted during the eight year period when the vessel was referred to as Old Constellation. Photographing the tray was a bit difficult due to reflections. I will be more than happy to send additional photographs upon request. The tray has some tarnish/patina commensurate with age, but nothing unusual. Please enlarge images to determine what is a reflection from my camera.
