I"ve had this tray for a few years now.
It came from the Surry Hills market one Saturday morning.
Unfortunately there is no mark. That suggests pre-1910?
I'd be pleased to have any comments or suggestions about its origin.
I've kept it as I found it.
It has an Egyptian feel too it as well:
a) a lotus flower?
b) a raven, an owl
c) the eye of Horus

Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

   looks pretty arts@crafts to me... and I'd say absolutely pre-1910s to me...
   
   It's a great piece!

   My Guess is that it is German or Austrain . the design reminds me of work by Albin Muller or Freidrich Alder ,for WMF

   Definately a secessionist crumb tray

   I think you are pretty on target with the date. Probably a crumb tray. I am sure your butler and foot men will appreciate it as well. (ok, too much Downton Abbey)

   Thanks AmberRose from Jeeves and the Team!

   This pattern not shown in either WMF 1906 catalogue or Lasseters 1902 or 1911

    mmm... doesn't look very Austrian to me, maybe Dutch or Scandinavian?
14. vetraio50, 4 months, 16 days ago
    The Dutch idea is an interesting one, too! Thanks marty, austrohungaro and AmberRose!

    Thanks for the great link, Marty. Like Austrohungaro I suspect this piece is of farther North origin than Germany or Austria.

    Thanks Marty for the great link!
    And thank you too for your input as well cogito and austrohungaro.
