Sorry, this item is out of stock.

This is a fine example of a typical early/mid 18th century Irish counter tray. This 5" round tray is engraved to the centre with a crest depicting an arm in armour holding a sword. Dating from around 1730, the reverse is clearly stamped with the crowned "IH" makers mark of John Hamilton and the crowned harp and Hibernia marks - Dublin made pieces from this period were often not marked with a date letter. Excellent condition throughout.
