This is a rare, antique John Edwards Fenton small tray. The pattern displays a brown transfer printed floral and leaf design accented in hues of blue and orange on a white field. Each piece bears the maker’s mark to the underside, indicating production during the late 19th century.
I use these sorts of trays everywhere throughout my home. To hold keys, incense sticks, vitamins, lipstick. They truly add a bit of glamour to even the most mundane areas of our home.
