Material and Workmanship

The tray is divided into three concentric zones: The outer rim is completely gilded and forms a wide, shiny frame. The center remains matted and calm — a neutral surface that securely holds carafes, glasses, or teapots and shows fewer fingerprints than a high-gloss surface. In between is a gilded inner ring, into which five symmetrically arranged floral ornamental groups are engraved, framed by two fine lines above and below.

925 sterling silver stands for 92.5% fineness, alloyed with copper for dimensional stability. The hallmark confirms fineness, origin, and the SevChern manufactory. This combination of gilded rim, matted center, and engraved ornamental groups is characteristic of the Astra Classic line and harmonizes with other pieces from the same series.

Use and Occasions

With a diameter of 202 mm, the tray is large enough for a carafe with two glasses, for a teapot or several teacups, for a small dessert bowl, or for jewelry and small gifts. If you already own an Astra Classic schnapps service or are planning to, this tray complements the presentation to form a harmonious ensemble — for dinner evenings, cognac rounds, or as a ready-to-gift set. Those looking for an everyday tray without ornamentation will find a calmer alternative in simpler silver trays in our collection.

Engraving and SilberVerse Card

The tray can be personalized upon request on the underside or rim — with names, dates, initials, or a short dedication. This personalization makes it a unique gift for weddings, anniversaries, or special occasions. For an additional personal touch, you can choose a SilberVerse card: 15 × 10 cm in landscape format, currently designed free of charge, as a unique item.

Care

Hand washing with warm water and mild dish soap best protects the gilding and engraving. Rinse with warm water after use and dry with a soft cloth. The matted center can be polished with a silver polishing cloth if necessary. With careful hand washing, the tray will remain flawless for decades.
