THIS IS AN ADORABLE ANTIQUE TIN LITHO CHILD TRAY! THE COLOR IS A BRIGHT ORANGE.
THE DECORATION ON THE TRAY IS IN BLACK SILHOUETTE. THE CENTER DEPICTS A WINDMILL IN THE BACK. THE FRONT SHOWS A BUSILY WALKING WOMAN WITH A CHECKERED APRON. THREE DUCKS ARE FOLLOWING HER. THREE SMALLER DUCKS ARE LEADING THE WAY. THE SCENE IS SURROUNDED WITH AN OVAL LINE. IN BETWEEN ARE FLOWERS AND OTHER DECORATIONS. THE BASE OF THE TRAY IS AGAIN OUTLINED WITH DECORATION IN THE CORNERS. THE RIMS OF THE TRAY HAVE THE SAME FLOWERS AS IN THE OVAL LINE. THE OUTER RIMS HAVE SCALLOPED LINE. THERE ARE NO MARKS.
THE CONDITION IS VERY GOOD WITH NO MAJOR DAMAGE. THERE IS VERY LITTLE BLACK COLOR LOSS. THE EDGE OF THE RIMS WERE BLACK ONCE. THERE IS SOME COLOR LOSS AND MINOR RUST. BELOW THE WOMAN IS A KIND OF BRIDGE? THERE IS A MANUFACTURING FLAW IN THE LINES. ALL FOUR CORNERS HAVE SCRATCHES, BUT NO TIN VISIBLE. BELOW THE "BRIDGE" IS SOME SOILING AND A SILVER DOT FROM THE TIN. PLEASE SEE PICTURE NUMBER 8. I TRIED TO CATCH THE SCRATCHES IN ONE CORNER (PICTURE NUMBER 9). OTHERWISE MINOR DINGS AND IN A CERTAIN LIGHT SOME BLOTCHES. THE BOTTOM HAS SOME SMALL SCRATCHES. I WOULD SUGGEST TO POLISH THE TRAY ONCE IN A WHILE WITH OIL TO BRING OUT THE COLORS BETTER.
I NEED TO POINT OUT THAT THE TRAY HAS A BRIGHTER ORANGE THAN THE PICTURES SHOW!
THE SIZE IS 9" x 13". THE HEIGHT IS 3/4".
WHAT A SWEET AND SO CHARMING ANTIQUE CHILD TRAY! A DEFINITE MUST HAVE!
THANK YOU FOR LOOKING!
