Petite Chinese Tea Tray, c. 1850

About the Item

Simple lines, a modest form and a layer of hand-brushed lacquer give this petite Qing-dynasty tray a provincial charm that recalls the warmth of home. The original burgundy lacquer finish has weathered with time for a wabi-sabi feel, faded along the edges and corners to reveal the light color the wood underneath. Today, we love using small trays like this as serving platters or catch-all dishes for jewelry, glasses and other accessories.
