This blond wooden serving tray was made in Japan in the 1950s. It measures 17" by 11" and has metal reinforced corners and raised sides with carry handles at each end. The railing is attached with wooden pegs, the holes on the underside nicely finished with putty filling. The surface has a hand painted scene of a buck and doe running through the woods with bare birch trees at either side and patches of snow on the ground. The artwork isn't signed but there's a foil label on the back which reads "Made For Standard Specialty Co. Japan".
The tray has a thin crack to the wood at one side (see closeup) but it doesn't affect the stability or functionality at all. The finish is in good condition with no scratches, stains, or noticeable wear. I picked this piece up on a buying trip in rural Montana, and couldn't help but notice what a perfect setting it was for a tray such as this. It would look great in a country, cabin or lodge-themed room.
