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 red-brown lacquer finish has weathered with time for a wabi-sabi feel, revealing the light color and grain of the wood underneath. Sheet metal reinforcements accent the corners and add to the tray's unique character, two which are etched with clouds, phoenixes and other motifs. Today, we love using small trays like this as serving platters or catch-all dishes for jewelry, glasses, and other accessories.
