This is a tea tray measuring 21 1/2" by 16 1/2". I am not sure if the 1797 is a date or just a hallmark, if Austrian? Is the silver content 800? It was sold as Austrian but I am not very familiar with the early marks so I am guessing.

Hello!
I don't think, it's from central european.
Most likely Spanish, or Portuguese.
Best regards!

Here are a few enlarged photos, hope that helps.

Hi emaliek,

Please describe what you see in the two centre marks.

Trev.

Estimado emaliek,

Se trata de una pieza española exactamente de la ciudad de Cádiz. A esta ciudad se la representa con la figura de Hércules entre dos leones. El platero a de ser A. Díaz (si con Z en la actualidad) del que desconozco su trayectoria y la otra marca esta muy confusa, podría ser ARE/NAS pero no estoy seguro.

FORGIVE THE LANGUAGE

Dear emaliek,

It is a Spanish piece exactly from the city of Cádiz. This city is represented by the figure of Hercules between two lions. The silversmith is going to be A. Díaz (if with Z at present) of which I do not know his trajectory and the other brand is very confused, it could be ARE / NAS but I'm not sure.
