About the Item
By the 18th century, opium use had become as central to Chinese social life as taking tea or smoking tobacco, fostering a subculture rich with its own customs, traditions, and exquisitely crafted accoutrements. One of the most important accessories was the tray, used to hold one's lamp and tools and to catch any falling ashes.
This petite, early 20th-century opium tray is a beautiful keepsake of the era, formed of copper sheet metal with a rolled edge and a lovely antique patina. The base of the tray is etched with a celestial dragon amid the clouds, a motif for power and strength.
