The item has never been refurbished.  It is in it's original state.

Face (bottom) of tray has large leafs and small acorns along  the edges;  a top band is held on by leafs that are also attached to the bottom; the top band has two handles on it that are attached with leafs; all attachments are silver rivets; both the band and the bottom of the tray have the appearance of hammered silver

17 1/2 inch tall metal vase - slender. Grape and leaf design along top and at pedestal base. 3 marks underneath the vase: an anchor inside of a shield, a five-pointed crown, and the letter P inside of a diamond with 2 horizontal lines in the bottom part of the diamond.

• Under the marks is the number B1558, and under that is 17 1/2, and under that is Sheffield

There seems to be some shiny bits of material on the wood. I cannot tell if they were put there at the time the carving was made or by

some owner after. Relief is of what looks to be warriors in various poses

its very dusty, and I spend hours brushing it away with soft paint brushes
