Brass Stationary Tray - Medium

I am a medium brass tray. Not too big, not too small! Just the perfect size to display business cards, hold jewelry or keep your memos neatly organized and beautifully displayed.

Curator's Notes

The classic shape and IHADA crude casting surface on these trays gives them a sophisticated appearance. Their weight feel substantial and appropriate for daily use while the slow oxidization of the brass keeps its coloration and texture looking richer over many years of usage
