About the Item

This rare 1930s German serving tray is a masterful fusion of Art Deco elegance and Bauhaus functionalism, featuring the distinctive "Spritzdekor" airbrushed technique. The round ceramic body is decorated with a dynamic, avant-garde geometric pattern in a palette of muted greens, creams, and earthy tones, reflecting the transition from emotional expressionism to the "New Objectivity" of the Bauhaus movement. This machine-age aesthetic is framed by a sophisticated silver-plated rim and matching integrated handles, which exhibit the clean lines and industrial precision championed by designers like Marianne Brandt and Theodor Bogler. Often attributed to prestigious manufacturers such as Carstens Uffrecht, Theodor Paetsch, or Waechtersbach, these trays were designed to bring high-art principles into the modern home under the slogan "Art into Industry". The reverse typically bears an impressed model number and the "Germany" origin stamp, confirming its production during the height of the German modernist era. With its striking starburst motif and refined metallic accents, this piece serves as both a functional object for cocktail service and a significant collector's item of 20th-century European design. It's in excellent vintage condition.
