House razing find

[keepsake]

Found this tray in a small walk-in attic of a house being torn down. I thought it was a cheap Indian import with missing inlay and bad plating but liked the design. I took a good look at it last weekend and went over it with one of those mr. clean pads and thought- hmmm. So I did a little googling and I'm pretty sure that this is an Erhard and Sohne art nouveau tray of some type- probably part of a set since one corner is engraved with the initials "GK". Here a couple of pics before and after a couple of hundred q-tips,some lemon juice and a bit of polishing.

Thanks- Yes it is- I was hoping somebody had seen this pattern before and could tell me a little bit about it- I don't believe that these were one-of-a-kind type designs so others are probably out there but I haven't found one like it- yet.
