Large, ornate, rectangular silver tray from Potosi, Bolivia, late 1800s, silversmith J. Guzman (stamped), double-headed eagle and heart design. 1204 grams, 17-1/2" x 11-1/2" x 1-1/2". Impressive piece with deeply embossed design on 2-3/4" rim, including cherubs, fruits and flowers, and engraved interior showing double-headed eagle with central heart, small circular crown stamp and PLATERO / J. / GUZMAN in top-left corner, all lightly toned and very solid, just the kind of heavy silver object that got melted down by the truckload in past decades, therefore somewhat rare today.
