Stamped EPCA — Electro Plated on a Copper Alloy base — and marked with pattern number 1043, Poole's heavy hollowware designation used through the mid-to-late 20th century. The thick, wavy pie-crust rim is the pattern's signature detail, giving the tray enough presence to work as a serving tray, a punch bowl base, or simply a decorative display piece.
A substantial gift for anyone who entertains often, or a striking piece on its own as a tabletop display.
Poole Silver Company was founded in Taunton, Massachusetts in 1893, producing both silverplate and sterling silver wares through the 20th century. The company never adopted a standard dating system for its markings, so pinning an exact manufacture year is difficult — but pattern #1043 is generally traced to the 1950s into the 1960s, placing this tray within that window.
