Royal Doulton"Afternoon Tea Cake Tray"

25 cm (9.75") across handle & 19 cm (7.5") wide

These cake trays come with an EPN&S handle that fits into the set of holes that are located on each end. These trays are not a very common shape to find, it is very rare to find them with there handle intact. All of the examples of this shape that I have seen seem to date from the 1930's onwards (of course as soon as I say this is the rule some swine is going to find an exception).
