16 1/2 x 16 1/2 glass mosaic breakfast tray by Pam Coppola (Swans Motif)

This is a 16 1/2 x 16 1/2 inch glass mosaic breakfast tray, attributed to artist Pam Coppola. The tray features a central mosaic design depicting two swans, seemingly a pair given their posture, with their necks forming a heart shape, set against a background of water and sky. The mosaic is constructed from numerous small pieces of colored glass, primarily in shades of blue, white, off-white, cream, and subtle pinks and grays for the swans' plumage. The blues in the background range from light sky blue to deeper indigo, suggesting varying depths of water and sky. The individual glass pieces are joined by dark grout lines, which also serve to delineate the features and forms within the artwork. The surface appears smooth with some textured variations inherent to glass mosaics, particularly where the grout is applied. The mosaic is set into a dark, possibly wood or metal, frame that forms the perimeter and functional sides of the breakfast tray. The frame appears to be black or a very dark brown, showing some minor wear consistent with use on its edges and corners, suggesting slight chipping or fading of the finish. There are no readily visible cracks or significant damage to the glass mosaic itself, and the overall condition appears good for a used decorative item. The craftsmanship suggests a handmade piece, with the intricate cutting and placement of glass pieces indicative of a skilled artisan. The style leans towards a decorative, illustrative aesthetic, potentially dating from the late 20th to early 21st century given the reference to 'breakfast tray' which implies a contemporary utility.
