AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A fabulous and rare oval serving tray, in tortoiseshell lucite with brass handles, designed and produced by the Italian company Guzzini, at the Rede Guzzini facilities, in the 1970s.

This large, gracefully contoured serving tray features a tortoiseshell lucite body in pure Modernist style, mounted on a decorative frame in solid brass. The contrast between the tortoiseshell lucite and brass makes this piece elegant and luxurious, traits highly sought after in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
