Description
I am a small brass tray. I’m a small object with a big job. I can hold precious items and keep them organized and I’ll do it with grace. Watch me age and transform right before your eyes!
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.
