This Art Deco liqueur set tray from the 1930s is defined by its sharply articulated octagonal form and broad, geometric handles that integrate seamlessly with the tray’s contour. Crafted entirely from clear, colorless glass, the tray’s material has a high degree of transparency and a cool tone. The surface is exquisitely smooth, with a subtle, even gloss, especially apparent on the faceted edges and inclined planes of the handles. There are no etched or colored decorations; the aesthetic lies purely in the symmetry, clarity, and precise execution of form. The thickness of the glass and the assured integration of the handles reflect meticulous craftsmanship typical for high-quality interwar Art Deco glassware. Practical dimensions (width 36 cm, depth 16 cm, height 3 cm) make this tray suited for refined table service. It is preserved in very good vintage condition, showing only the faintest traces of gentle use consistent with glassware of the era. The strict geometry of this tray speaks in the voice of the 1930s—an era that championed clarity, renounced superfluous decoration, and valued disciplined composition. This is a piece that, like a mirror, reflects the ambitions of its time: aspiring to decorative purity while remaining practical. Each facet, the cool transparency of the glass, and the rigorous lines of the handles conjure images of salons where glassware served not just as a function, but as a statement of modernity and the rituals of sociable living. The tray may be used for serving drinks during gatherings, or as a refined platform for displaying glass carafes, stemware, or small Art Deco collectibles. It could be paired with simple vessels in clear or pastel glass and metallic accents – such as a chromed lamp base or brass candleholders. Its presence is particularly suited for modernist, early
