The dividing line between salvers and waiters, on which small objects were presented is largely a matter of size.  We refer to �waiters" as those fashioned smaller than 9 inches (23mm), and salvers being those designed larger than 9 inches.  Waiters were often made en suite with a salver as part of a toilet service (about 1715), and often square with shaped corners.  Salvers are difficult to make and are largely produced by specialists, most notably Abercromby.  Early 18th Century variations included molded borders such Chippendale (piecrust) � its scrolls and curves popular at all times, and mid-century, Rococo, shells varying the theme.  From 1735 � 1770,  beaded borders became the most popular form.1  Salvers can have elaborate cast feet applied to the bottom.
