Vintage Ucagco Floral Ceramic Trinket Dish/Dresser Tray. Measures about 2" in height by 8" wide. Very good condition. Has what appears to be slight rubbing of the gold rim in one spot (pictured).
Add a touch of post-war elegance to your vanity with this stunning vintage floral ceramic dresser tray from Ucagco. Ucagco, which stands for United China and Glass Company, was a prominent importer based in New Orleans and New York that specialized in high-quality Japanese ceramics during the mid-century era. This piece, measuring approximately 8 inches wide and 2 inches in height, is a quintessential example of post-war era aesthetic, where delicate floral motifs and gilded edges were used to bring a sense of traditional European refinement into American homes. The center of the tray is adorned with a lush bouquet of flowers, a timeless pattern that evokes the charm of a mid-century cottage garden.
The tray is in very good condition, retaining its bright, glossy glaze and structural integrity. There is a small, honest sign of its history in the form of slight rubbing on the gold rim in one localized spot—a common characteristic of authentic gilded ceramics from this period that adds to its genuine vintage character. This tray is perfectly suited for a "Grandmillennial" bedroom or a "shabby chic" bathroom, serving as a sophisticated catch-all for daily jewelry, perfume bottles, or fine soaps. Its elongated shape and raised scalloped edges make it as functional as it is decorative. Whether you are a collector of Ucagco porcelain or seeking a romantic accent for a "rustic farmhouse" dresser, this floral tray is a beautiful testament to mid-century craftsmanship.
This item is vintage, approximately 70 years old.
