Tray - Silver & Cut Crystal Coaster - .925 silver - Starburst Design

Elegant Sterling Silver & Cut Crystal Coaster – Starburst Design – USA, c. 1930

A refined and timeless sterling silver and cut crystal coaster, crafted in the United States around 1930, likely originating from the New England silversmithing tradition, renowned for its high-quality tableware and understated elegance.

This elegant piece features a beautifully engraved crystal insert, decorated with a striking radiating starburst pattern, which catches and reflects light in a subtle yet sophisticated way. The crystal is securely set within a solid sterling silver mount, marked “STERLING”, confirming its high silver content (925/1000).

The silver frame is adorned with a delicate rope-twist (cable) border, adding a classic decorative touch while maintaining a refined, balanced aesthetic typical of early 20th-century American design.
