This cut corner tray has been one of Jo Sonja's favorite pieces for decades. Originally made from steel and tin but we have had this tray beautifully reproduced in alder and baltic birch. All of the moldings are solid alder and the floor of the tray is birch ply. You can see in the photos that it is expertly mitered and constructed. The tray is wonderfully lightweight at just 10 ounces and yet is a full 17" long by 11" wide. The exact dimensions of the original tin.
Partridge and pears. What a delightful combination and let’s do it so that it can remain in our decor all year long as just a beautiful “tole” style bird.
