These two snuffers and tray were made in the late 18th century. They are made of japanned iron, decorated with gold lines. Snuffers were either placed on stands or trays for tidiness and the latter were more or less standardised in the shape of an oblong tray with the ends slightly raised. They were in use from the beginning of the 18th century. This tray was formerly part of the collection at the Victoria & Albert Museum, but nothing is known of its origins before that.
