    Description

    I love the quirky MCM look of this hand painted Tilso serving tray with it's orange background and "mod" set of two lamps in brown, rust and white colors.  The outlines of the lamps are in white and black paint and are raised off the surface.   The tray is made from a pressed paper on the top painted side and has a hard plastic finish on the back.   Two handles on each side are wrapped in plastic strips, with no tears or loose pieces.  The images on the tray are vibrant and definitely reflect the artwork of the period.
    I have run across quite a few similar trays and found them to be in rough condition due to their paper composition and usage around food and beverages.  This tray was an exception to that experience.  While there are some areas where the surface is slightly compromised and a few stains are evident, it really shows well.  The plastic wrapped handles are also still in very nice condition.  There is some paint loss on the black back from surface wear.  The black edge also shows some wear.
    Really nice example of MCM design and a practical tray for the bar, buffet or shelf display.
