This brightly colored tray is another find from our attic. It looks great on the red background of our dining room but it's a bit hard to photograph in there so I took it out on the front porch. You can see a photo of it in an earlier post here.
I just love the French style and Provencal colors,
but it isn't French.
These trays are paper mache and made in Japan. From what I've found on the Internet they were made as bar ware from the 30's to 50s. The lower part of the curved type says "Alcohol Proof". There are many that look similar and some that are much bigger and more extravagant. They often have this French look but I've seen them in very retro 50's pattterns too.
Hey, the stamp is red too. I just love red and yellow together. :)
