Mid-Century Hammered Metal Circular Serving Tray

This is a circular metal serving tray, likely constructed from polished stainless steel or a pewter-finish aluminum, exhibiting a distinctive 'fish-scale' or engine-turned hammered pattern across the interior surface. The tray features a raised, smooth-finished gallery rim that provides structural rigidity and a functional lip for containing items. Based on its aesthetic, it appears to be a Mid-Century Modern utility piece, likely dating from the 1950s to the 1970s. The reflective surface shows a cool-toned metallic luster, characteristic of durable household service ware from that era. Structurally, the piece shows minor surface abrasions and superficial scratching consistent with regular domestic use, particularly visible where light hits the central field. There are no signs of significant denting, warping, or deep metal fatigue. The craftsmanship is utilitarian yet elegant, with the repeating geometric impact marks suggesting a machine-applied decorative finish designed to hide fingerprints and minor scratches while adding visual interest. While no maker's mark is visible from this angle, the style is consistent with manufacturers like Farberware or similar mass-market quality producers of the 20th century. The overall condition is good to very good, maintaining its original form and reflective integrity.
