Two miniature trays
« on: February 01, 2014, 06:03:10 pm »
Hi all! Been awhile...
buried in snow and ice (MN)
Does anyone recognize these little glass trays? No idea what they were used for, nor who made them??
They are a reverse painted tray. Shallow about 1/4 inch deep, and 3  1/2 by 2  3/4 in.
Handpainted with gold - gilt trim.
Thanks!

And a standard business card is slightly smaller than that !!  I think they went on the desk for business cards !!
