The Kensington Aluminum line of metal giftware was designed by Lurelle Guild and introduced in the 1930s. This attractive aluminum handled dish or tray is part of the post-war Moiré line with a more Mid Century Modern look.
The bowl has a slightly biomorphic shape with uneven sloped rim. The etched tree bark style Moiré decoration adds texture and eye appeal. It measures just under 8 inches diameter, the center handle rises 5 inches from the center bottom. It's very shiny and spotlessly clean with no scratches, scuffs, or stains to the upper surface. There are a few marks to the bottom from rub contact, which look much worse in the photos due to the camera flash.
