Description
This round tinplate serving tray carries a bold retro print in the style of an old German beer tray, with Dammer Pils lettered in red across the centre. A painted street of gabled, half-timbered houses fills the middle, their windows glowing above a busy terrace, with a small German flag flying from one rooftop. Golden hop vines climb either side on a sage and teal ground, and two little roundels read 'Seit 1844' and '5,2% Vol.' The words 'Unfiltriertes Pilsner' and '100% Bio-Gerstenmalz' circle the dark grey-green border in gold. It measures 33cm across and 4cm high, with an inside of about 31cm across and 3.8cm deep.
We think it belongs wherever drinks are poured at home. Set it on a home bar or kitchen worktop to gather glasses and bottles in one place, or use it to carry a round from the kitchen to the dining table in a single trip. The raised wall helps keep glasses in place as you walk, and the wide well leaves room for a handful of glasses or a couple of bottles side by side. Between uses, prop it upright on a shelf or dresser, where the bright street scene makes cheerful vintage-style decoration for a kitchen, dining room or games room.
The tray is made from tinplate and weighs just 0.264KG, so it is easy to lift even with a few glasses aboard. The print covers the whole face of the well and the lettered band around it. For everyday care, wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it straight away, which is good practice for any printed metal, and avoid scouring pads that could scratch the print. Keep it with plain glassware so the painted houses stay the centre of attention, and when it is going as a present, its flat round shape makes it simple to wrap.
