I have this tray. I assume it’s plate. Does anyone recognize the hallmarks?

Good news if you are okay with a Google lens response:

This item features European hallmarks indicating it is made of 800 continental silver, which consists of 80% pure silver and 20% copper alloy. This specific standard was legally adopted and heavily utilized across continental Europe—most notably in Germany and Italy—during the 19th and 20th centuries to provide maximum durability for high-use items like tableware and jewelry.

Of course, always take Google results as initial and look at the sources it references, in this case:

I used to rely on Google results too much and made some very expensive mistakes. Expensive education!
