This German rotating tray from around 1965 exemplifies the modernist ethos of mid-century design in everyday objects. Its structure consists of a sturdy plastic corpus in an expressive mustard yellow, with a clearly defined geometric edge. The centerpiece is a circular glass top, under which lies an intricate white pattern, reminiscent of a stylized doily or lace mandala. A semicircular Bakelite handle in an ivory tone is placed on one side, serving both function and visual accent; the tray is supported by a low, rotatable base, making it ideal for serving at gatherings or in a living room context. Dimensions are 3 cm in height, 29 cm in diameter, 30 cm in width, and a 19 cm base diameter. The condition is defined as good: minor signs of use and a small glass chip at the edge, without structural damage or any signs of restoration, preserving the object's authenticity.
The form of this tray offers a visual narrative of its time: it speaks of the 1960s, when the optimism of postwar Europe was channeled into new avenues for design and material innovation. The yellow corpus reflects the era—upbeat, eager to explore plastics and geometric solutions—while the decorative glass surface brings a handmade warmth, typical of intimate gatherings over coffee or cake. The object seems to say that the world spins around simple rituals highlighted by thoughtful details. Its minimalist silhouette
