Comments

The rectangular serving tray has rounded corners.  It is painted black with red and gold stencil decoration depicting a small pagoda with an arched bridge extending forward from its single door opening.  Red and gold cherry blossoms fill out the image and create its chinoiserie style.

The tray is modern.
