Chrome Accent Tray Appraisal

Art Deco Style Smoked Glass Oval Serving Tray with Chrome Accents

This is a contemporary Art Deco-inspired oval serving tray, approximately 16 to 18 inches in length. The primary surface consists of a template of thick, smoked grey translucent glass with a smooth, polished finish. The tray features two integrated polished chrome or silver-toned metal handles that clasp the ends of the oval glass panel. These handles exhibit a distinctive curvilinear, geometric cutout design reminiscent of 1930s streamline moderne aesthetics, featuring black enamel or painted line detailing that enhances the contrast. The glass itself appears to be tempered, though no visible etching confirms this on the top surface. Construction quality is moderate, suggesting a mass-produced item from the late 20th to early 21st century rather than a period antique. Condition-wise, the item shows some minor surface scratches consistent with use and shelf wear common in thrift environments. There is a visible build-up of dust and fingerprints on the glass surface, but no significant chips or cracks are evident in the photograph. The metallic handles appear intact, though light oxidation or pitting could be present under closer inspection of the plating.
