Elizabeth Jones, perhaps the widow of the silversmith Robert Jones, registered her mark in January of 1783, working at 49 Bartholomew Close. Her workshop seems to have focused on the production of salvers such as the examples offered here, as well as similar trays, indeed a tray from the collection of the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington is illustrated in Glanville and Goldsborough, Women Silversmiths 1685-1845, Washington D.C., p.49.
