Portuguese silver wire rack tray, Porto hallmark, in use 1938–1984.
A circular, wire-framed tray in 833-millimeter silver, hallmarked by the Porto Eagle (1938–1984), the Monteiro & Filhos (1949–1969) goldsmith's mark, and the Ourivesaria do Rossio, Lisbon, goldsmith's mark. It features a delicately geometrically cut wire-frame and a smooth base. The quality of the workmanship and balanced proportions demonstrate the expertise of mid-20th-century Portuguese silverware, marked by formal sobriety and robust construction. This piece, simultaneously functional and decorative, reflects the refinement of Portuguese silversmithing, designed to complement elegant services and enhance classic interiors.
