Overview
A vintage hand-wrought aluminum serving tray by Cromwell. It is a large rectangular tray with an allover hammered surface, a raised inner rim and a crimped pie-crust border. The center has a raised design of fruit and flowers, including grapes, an apple, a pear, cherries, a squash, a gourd and leaves. Two scrolled aluminum handles are riveted to the short ends. It works for serving, as a bar cart or ottoman tray, or displayed on a shelf or wall.
