This rare Tray is modelled in a very unusual smaller size and is oval in form with a raised reeded border.  The two oval reeded side handles are attached to the main body with acanthus mouldings.  The centre of the Tray is engraved with a contemporary Armorial, with Crest above and the Motto "TRUE" engraved on a banner below.  The Arms, Crest and Motto are those of the Patterson.  As emphasised, this piece is of a very unusual smaller size and is in excellent condition.  The Tray is fully marked on the reverse.  Solomon Hougham was a fine maker of holloware from workshops in Aldersgate Street.
