Description
This oval metal trinket dish carries a jaunty French dog on a bright yellow ground, and it is the kind of small piece that makes a dressing table smile. The dog is white with black spots across its head and neck. It wears a navy beret set at an angle and a navy check coat tied at the throat with a little bow, its long tail swept out behind. The figure is drawn in simple black outline, so the colours stay clean and graphic against the glossy yellow. The dish is made from coated cast iron and measures 11.4cm long, 8.5cm wide and 0.7cm deep: a neat, shallow tray that fits in the palm of your hand.
We like it anywhere small things tend to gather. On a bedside table it keeps rings, earrings and a watch together overnight. By the front door it catches keys and loose change, and on a desk it holds paper clips, a USB stick or a lip balm. Because it is so shallow, everything sits in plain view and is easy to pick up. Its 11.4cm length leaves room for a few pieces without taking over a shelf. The yellow and navy palette sits happily in bold, colourful rooms and brings a bright note to a plainer white or grey scheme.
Foam pads are attached to the underside to prevent scratches to the surface beneath, so you can set it on a wooden dresser, a painted shelf or a glass top. To keep it looking its best, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth, or a damp one for marks, and dry it straight away. Set it beside a jewellery box, on a stack of books or next to a lamp on a hall table, and it adds cheerful character to the spot. It also makes an easy small gift, simple to wrap and pleasing to open.
