Armorial. These are the marital arms of Kemble and, probably, Vau(l)x/Vaus. This is quite likely to belong to Thomas Kemble (1760 – 23 Aug 1821), sugar broker of Gobions Park, Herts and Mincing Lane who married Arabella Mary Waugh (22 Sep 1763 – 1820) on 9th November 1787.

This pretty tray is in very good condition and shows moderate signs of wear commensurate with age.
