The tray was made in Naples shortly before the mid-eighteenth century and donated by Pope Benedict XIV to the Marquis Leopoldo del Carretto of Gorzegno and Moncrivello, as a diplomatic gift on the occasion of the second agreement between the papacy and the Kingdom of Sardinia. It joined the museum collections in 2019.
