A beautifully decorated antique toleware tray featuring hand-painted florals and a bird motif set against a rich, dark ground, accented with scrolling gilt decoration along the border. The detailed painting and warm patina give the tray a striking old-world presence.
 
Good antique condition with heavy surface craquelure, paint wear, and areas of old over-painting consistent with age. There is a stable split to the metal near one handle, consistent with age and use.
