The antique tray marked "Queen Victoria Sheffield" belongs to the English tradition of producing tableware and serving items in the Victorian style. These items were produced in Sheffield, a famous centre for silver manufacturing. According to the stamp with the inscription "Queen Victoria" and the image of the coat of arms, this product is part of the so-called "Sheffield Plate" collection - a technique that involves covering copper or brass objects with silver. The mark on the teapot, such as the image of a crown, a coat of arms with a lion, and other symbols, is typical of British silverware manufacturers. The antique tray bears the original manufacturer's label. It is in good vintage condition. I believe one leg has been repaired, as there are signs of restoration. The foot is very secure, and the tray is stable.
