Three piece set of vintage mid-century papier-mâché or coated wood snack and vanity trays featuring an Egyptian-inspired hieroglyphic and motif design.

Alfred E. Knobler & Co., was  a mid-20th century importer and distributor that offered Japanese-made "alcohol-proof" papier-mâché or lacquered servingware and trinket trays during the 1950s and 1960s. Cream and/ or beige backgrounds with multi-colored Egyptian Revival artwork depicting figures, chariots, boats, and hieroglyphic symbols.

See photograph for condition.  Includes minor darkening at center of each tray. 

A taste of old Egypt from postwar Japan!
