ABOUT PRODUCTID 15634
This Art Deco serving tray from Fork Praha, crafted in the 1930s in then-Czechoslovakia, exemplifies the era's characteristic octagonal geometry and balanced proportions. The tray’s surface is formed by a highly saturated, glossy crimson glass panel, set within a polished chrome-plated metal rim. Two side handles, punctuated by rectangular, matching red insets—likely glass or Bakelite—are seamlessly integrated into the composition, highlighting the modernist attention to geometric detail. The construction features precise joins and discreet mounting screws, while the chrome surface reflects light and creates a striking contrast between the coolness of metal and the warmth of glass. The meticulously executed structural elements delineate a graphic outline that reinforces the minimalist yet assertive quality of the design. The tray is preserved in very good condition, displaying only minor signs of use, such as fine surface scratches and occasional small discolorations on the chrome, without evidence of heavy wear or significant damage. This piece resonates with the spirit of Central European modernism of the 1930s: its silhouette speaks with a clear, geometric voice, where both color and the rhythm of austerely drawn lines matter. The crimson glass evokes the ambience of decadent salons and morning light in the grand cafés of Prague, where the interplay of glass and chromed metal set the mood. The structure’s restraint reveals the optimism of the period, and an appreciation for luxury expressed not through ornament, but through quality materials and meticulous craftsmanship. The tray may serve both as a practical accessory for serving coffee
