Any idea what this is? The cannon is the only mark on the tray's back.

Hi,
Cannon figural mark was used by two British manufacturers:
George Wilkin, Sheffield

and Charles S. Green & Co, Birmingham

Thank your this information. Is there any way to know if it is silver-plate or sterling? I have been assuming that if it was Sterling it would have more marks on the back with the cannon. Am I correct in that assumption?

It is silver plated.
Britain has very strict and elaborate hallmarking system of silver; there are no silver marks on the tray.

Hi - welcome to the forums.

This cannon trademark is Charles S. Green & Co. - George Wilkin's cannon is different (seen at bottom of second image).
