An oval tray, unlike a round tray, is organized longitudinally, along the longer axis. It is used where more than one item or grouping is required, and the weight can be centered, rather than dispersed. Balancing an oval tray is somewhat easier than a round tray, because it is more stable once supported at the midpoint, the short axis having less rotation. It also easier to lift and carry with hot servings, because the ends do not heat as much as the center when a hot food container is centered on it.

Price is dependent on many variables and opinions vary. It depends on who made the tray, the tray's age, size, provenance of the tray, condition, desirability of the design, and whether the tray is a step above the common silver-plated tray (what embellishments does it have). Trays that have STERLING SILVER mounts are higher quality and the price would be affected by the amount of sterling added to the tray. Sterling mounts could refer to the trim around the edges (rope border), feet, handles, knobs and other decoration. A large, heavy, clean, vintage tray by a good maker with sterling mounts, in a well advertised auction where interested buyers know the item is at auction could bring $450+ compared to a solid silver tray of the same size which goes for thousands. In a retail shop in a good location, a large beautiful tray with sterling mounts could retail for more than the auction price.
