silver tray
Butler's carrying surface
A silver tray is a flat serving platter made of silver or silver-plated metal, used to present food, drinks, or calling cards.
Silver trays suggest formal service and wealth: The butler entered with champagne on a silver tray.
To have something handed to you on a silver tray (or silver platter) is to receive it without effort.
