Manufacturer: T. & R. Boote
This large cracker tray or undertray measures 15 1/4 inches wide. No doubt, the soup tureen it once supported was quite large as well.

We are only offering the undertray, however. This is T. & R. Boote's 1851 Octagon Shape. It dates to 1851.
1851 Octagon Shape bears outward and inward turning ogee shapes along with paneling at the inward turns. Note also the graceful handles. The center well measures 8 3/4 inches from one side to the other. We include this measurement in case the viewer is considering this undertray for a different shape of the period. It would go well stylistically speaking with any of the Sydenham type shapes.
It is is super condition. There is one little chip on the underside foot ring as pictured. It is also evenly and finely crazed. |
