large antique cairoware inlaid tray
hello john
wondering if you know anything about these, its a large cairoware tray , 19th century egyptian, probably once a table top but has two rings/hooks on the back for hanging.
inlaid with silver and copper, quite large around 50-60cms in diameter
the reason i ask is because i see them on christies website, some sell for 200-300 and some for 2000 pounds, i am trying to find out the difference between a £200 one and a £2000 one?
thanks

The item I bought (Kings Regiment 1945) probably came out of the Officers Mess.
never saw a trench, but I did see a profit.

yes, lol, most trench art never saw a trench, most was produced in the engineering sections while away on war
glad you made a profit but that was never in question for a fiver.
