GS Milano - Platter - Silverplated

Serving tray with lid – Lobster – Silver plated – Made in Italy

An impressive, visually striking silver-plated serving tray, accompanied by a domed lid crowned with a finely crafted three-dimensional lobster sculpture, an iconic symbol of luxury tied to the grand table and the elite gastronomic tradition.

The item is in excellent condition, almost like new.
The surface is extremely glossy and bright, with only a few micro-scratches on the surface (2–3 minimal marks) visible only in oblique light and consistent with very light resting over time. It has never been used for service.

Inside there is a shaped wooden insert, designed to support the food (lobster, fish, gourmet dishes), a refined and functional solution that protects the silver-plated surface and preserves its quality over time.

At the bottom, the original markings are clearly visible:
• GS
• Silver Plated
• Made in Italy

The GS acronym is linked to Italian production of high-end silverware and silver-plated items, attributed to a Milanese manufacturer specializing in presentation pieces and luxury tableware.

Dimensions
• Length: 50 cm
Width: 28 cm
• Height: 11 cm (with lid)

Production period (estimate)

Based on the style, the quality of the plating, the lid design, and the type of markings, the tray is plausibly datable to the late 1960s through the 1980s.
