Hi,
Any information appreciated.

Its base would probably have had some sort of mount.

Wt 890gm
L.  23cm (9.5”)

Thanks for looking

Hi Moderator, would it be possible to shift this one to “ Glass Trinket Sets “ ?

Many thanks

Hello,

It's the tray, part of a liquor set, without decanter or glasses obviously. 
I haven't got the pattern number or description but the item number is 726, as you can see and it's from the 1908 catalogue, available in clear and a blue version. No trinket sets that I've spotted in the catalogue.

Actually, I have to correct myself, it is also just listed as a 'Plateau' or tray, but as the image is quite small in the catalogue, I missed it.

Just hold your hand over the decanters and glasses and you have the same image

Hi,
Many thanks for identifying it for me - much appreciated.
It’s been used as a trinket tray ( for cosmetic jewellery ) for the last few weeks, however on receiving
your reply it did cross my mind whether to repossess it, but.....................!!
I suppose it could be on the move again back to its original site !
Thanks again 

Scott

A lovely tray Scott, not one I would have known, well done on your ID Anne Tique!

I've moved this back out of trinket sets as it doesn't appear to fit there, but if trinket sets appear in the same pattern I'll be thrilled.  This is a good example of the versatility of some pieces - trinket set tray, decanter tray, or serving platter.

Hi Jayne,
Thanks, yes it’s a great piece of pressed glass - and yes it was so good how Anne Tique
managed to identify it for me.

Anne, moving it back seems a good idea  - although it does seem very much at home looking after bits
and pieces of jewellery  - but then of course it doesn’t have much choice, does it !

Hi Scott, it probably doesn't... of course if you found a really nice trinket set to replace it with you might be able to reclaim it! 

[Scott13]

Good idea - I’ll have a look in the charity shops and if I find one it’ll be ‘..two birds with one stone ‘—
Christmas present and......................!   
Only joking....l think !
