AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An antique and rare tray, manufactured by Villeroy & Boch in Dresden. The tray was made by Villeroy & Boch, Dresden, between 1874 and 1909, during the Art Nouveau period. It is a beautifully large, rectangular tray with oval sides. The tray features a geometric, abstract design in beautiful pastel shades of blue and brown. It is set in a sturdy copper frame. This particular tray, with its two marks and copper frame rather than silver-colored metal, is rarely encountered.
The tray bears two marks. It has the brown 'Mercury' ink mark used by Villeroy & Boch, Dresden, from 1874 to 1909. It is numbered 2554.
It also bears the mark * 1836 * F. H. Ueber Land Und Meer. 'Ueber Land und Meer' was a German illustrated news and politics magazine published in Stuttgart, Germany, between 1858 and 1923. Articles were sold through the magazine; in this case, the item was by Villeroy & Boch.
Weight: 2224 grams.
Dimensions: 45 x 35.5 x 5 cm (L x W x H).
The tray is in good condition. The porcelain tray is completely intact. Unfortunately, one foot is missing, as are the handles.
The tray will be carefully packaged and shipped insured.
