Ok have no clue how to describe this other than serving tray. As you can see, there is some damage to the backside - moisture or damage. It does not however show through. The background of the design looks hand painted as you can see black brush strokes.
I started to take pics inside last night and of course, lighting is terrible. I carefully took it apart thinking the backing was just that, the backing. But the design is painted right onto that paper which is really brittle and I ended up creating a small tear.
When I went to take pics outside today in better light, I did not want to chance any further damage.
Please excuse glare on the glass.
I am curious is anyone knows approximate age, style. I can't imagine much value with the small rip now and the water stained back - but still curious
