Vintage Hand Painted Metal Tray with Bold Floral Design

This vintage hand painted metal tray is a vibrant celebration of colour and craftsmanship, perfect for adding personality to both practical serving and decorative styling. Its oval form is adorned with a striking floral design in vivid pink, crimson, white, and soft yellow, framed by a black border with intricate gold detailing. The bold brushstrokes and expressive pattern make it a stand-out piece that brings instant character to any setting.

Hand painted trays like this were popular mid-century, often made as both functional serving ware and decorative wall or table accents. The metal construction ensures durability, while the hand-painted finish offers individuality, no two pieces are exactly alike. Over the years, the surface has developed a gentle patina that speaks to its age and adds to its vintage charm.

Measuring an impressive 56 cm by 42 cm with a depth of 3.5 cm, it’s large enough to serve drinks, present appetisers, or create a styled display. Placed on a coffee table, it can anchor a vignette of books, flowers, and candles. In a kitchen or dining room, it can be used to serve tea, cocktails, or sweet treats when entertaining. It also looks beautiful hung on a wall as part of a gallery-style arrangement of vintage plates and trays, bringing a pop of colour and texture.

Collectors will appreciate the hand painted artistry and the way the piece bridges practical use with decorative value. Whether your style is eclectic bohemian, traditional, or maximalist, this tray will sit happily among your existing treasures while making its own confident statement.

This is a functional vintage item that has been well-loved, showing light signs of use that are consistent with its age. These only add to its authenticity and ensure it retains the unique charm that new mass-produced pieces simply can’t replicate.
