Description from the seller
Beautiful large rectangular decorative tray in nickel-plated pierced metal and porcelain.
Unknown manufacturer, certainly European, probably from Central Europe.
On the back there is the label of the Rome gift shop that sold the item.
From the motif of the decor it is possible to date the tray to the first quarter of the 20th century, about 1900-1925.
Dimensions:
38 x 4 x 22 cm including handles
Good overall condition. The metal corners of the tray are damaged and not joined to each other; this defect does not prevent use of the tray.
Seller's Story
My name is Riccardo. I recently graduated in Art History from the University of Florence and I am passionate about porcelain. From tableware to artistic vases, from figurines to tea and coffee sets, I am fascinated by the mastery and creativity of great artisans and designers who manage to shape this fragile material, transforming a rough mass into masterpieces with a story to tell. During my years at university I began to become interested in the history of nineteenth- and twentieth-century tableware; today, every day, I deal with prestigious porcelain pieces that always have something to say to me and to those who purchase them. I love that every day I can discover more about the objects I find while traveling around Italy, always learning something new. I always try to convey to my clients this passion I have for the objects I sell, certain that each of them has a story to tell: that of the creator, that of the one who preserved it, and that of the person who will give it a new life.
