Decorative tray - Switzerland

Vintage Swiss 800 silver (80% silver purity, the standard for much of continental Europe/Switzerland in the 19th–20th centuries) small serving tray or dish from Jezler AG (also known as Jezler & Cie), a renowned silversmith based in Schaffhausen, Switzerland. Founded in 1822 by Johann Jacob Jezler, the company remains in operation today and is highly regarded for quality hollowware, flatware, and decorative pieces—often in elegant, classic styles like rococo-revival or scalloped borders.

The hallmark “800” confirms the purity, and “JEZLER” (see photos) is the maker’s mark—typically stamped plainly or sometimes with a stylized heraldic device (three circles or arms in older pieces). No German-specific marks (like crescent/crown) appear here, aligning with Swiss production rather than German. Jezler pieces from the early to mid-20th century (ca. 1900–1960s) commonly use this 800 standard before shifting more to 925 sterling later.

• Diameter: 18cm — compact size for a small serving tray, bonbon dish, calling card tray, or decorative plate (e.g., for sweets, jewelry, or as a coaster base).

• Weight: 165 g — good substance for its scale, contributing to a premium feel over thinner items.

Excellent vintage condition overall. There are some scratches and one small dent (see final photo of the underside) which is approximately 3mm and barely visible on the upper surface.
