This piece features a deep ivory/pale yellow background with a design of sheet music and instruments in gold across the front. The underneath side of the tray is black and has the original

Per Fornasetti's site, "The production process has always been one of Fornasetti's distinguishing features. All objects are made in Italy, strictly by
