This piece originates from the Vessra region of Germany, a hub for high-quality porcelain production during the early 20th century. While originally designed as a "dresser tray" to hold vanity items like perfume bottles or brushes, its handles and circular form made it a versatile serving piece for light pastries during afternoon tea. The use of lilies was a favorite motif of the Art Nouveau movement, symbolizing purity and refined grace.
This item is vintage, over 90 years old. Measurements are close but approximate.
