The arms are those of Wilmot of Stadhampton and Chiselhampton in Oxfordshire, impaling those of Man of London.

This salver is an example of the 15-sided (or "quindecagonal") forms that English silversmiths were able to create by applying techniques in Euclid's Elements of Geometry, first translated into English in 1570. (C. Hartop, Geometry and the Silversmith: The Domcha Collection, 2008, p. 16, illus.)
