The lower shelf features a group of circular ceramic coasters with floral and geometric motifs, including one larger coaster with a stylised green flower. A silver-plated galleried tray holds a collection of flatware, including knives with cream-coloured composite handles, and a small silver-plated wine coaster bearing a white adhesive label reading R1332C. Also present is a wooden serving tray holding several sets of cork-backed placemats and coasters depicting English village scenes and equestrian subjects.
