Vintage Black Lacquer Serving Tray with Mother-of-Pearl
A large vintage serving tray in deep black lacquer, delicately inlaid with mother-of-pearl. A single blossoming flower unfolds across the surface, accompanied by fine botanical elements and two fluttering butterflies. The contrast between the dark ground and the luminous inlay creates a sense of depth, while the smooth lacquer finish gives the piece a serene presence. Likely dating to the mid 20th-century from China, it functions effortlessly as both a serving piece and decorative surface—ideal for presenting tea or anchoring a considered arrangement on a coffee table. A composed centerpiece, crafted to be lived with and admired.
