The center is decorated with a generous bouquet of roses and other flowers in softly muted tones, probably applied as a transfer beneath a protective lacquer. The warm ochre ground has developed a delicate network of surface crazing, giving the finish attractive depth and age. The tray remains in very good vintage condition, with only a few small chips and minor traces of use. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e A familiar feature of mid-century French interiors, painted toleware enjoyed a revival during this period, combining practical serving use with a graceful, slightly romantic decorative character.
