The base has been marked with the company names used at the time of manufacturing. One website give a brief history of these trays as follows... "Britannia Designs as a Dartmouth Pottery subsidiary company, producing many souvenir articles for the growing tourist trade, a mainstay of the Britannia business for years became jam pots for the Elsenham jam and preserves company.   The Elsenham pottery was marked “Specially made for the Elsenham Quality Foods Ltd by Dartmouth Potteries England”. Short runs of commissioned trays and mugs with transfer printed line illustrations and silver or gold gilt handles was a strong part of the business that further diversified in products into the Scottish market as well with novelty items like counties map trays, mugs and floral wares. The maps were drawn by S.B. the initials of Stanley Brock an elderly artist from St Ives in Cornwall. As he got older they employed anybody good enough to do the job but in later years it was an artist called Dennis Veal who produced many of the ship illustration on tankards and there was also Derrick Bown another artist at some time."
