Beautiful mid-century modern Japanese brass tray featuring engine-turned swirl patterning and pierced floral edging. Produced during the 1960s–1970s era, this piece remains in excellent display condition and retains its original lacquer finish and label.

Made in Japan by MS, this tray was crafted using solid brass sheet stock and then hand-finished, as indicated on the original manufacturer’s label. The lacquer is intact, providing its “tarnish resistant” characteristic — meaning it should not be polished and simply wiped gently with a damp cloth.

This piece presents exceptionally well and makes an ideal accent tray for vanity décor, jewelry, perfume bottles, tea service, or as an entryway display tray.
