This elegant rectangular tray features a scalloped rim accented with hand-applied gold gilt. The interior is finely hand-painted with delicate polychrome floral sprays, including larger white and yellow daisies and smaller pink blossoms, set against a soft ivory porcelain ground. The back carries the authentic green "M in wreath" backstamp, which was introduced around 1911 and used through the early 1920s.

Condition
Very Good Antique Condition. The porcelain body is free of any major chips, cracks, or repairs. The central hand-painted floral design remains vibrant and crisp. There is very minor, age-appropriate wear to the gold gilt along the scalloped edge and light surface scuffing on the underside, consistent with a piece that is over 100 years old.
A sophisticated addition to any collection of early 20th-century Asian porcelain, this tray’s delicate botanical motif and historic mark make it a timeless choice for display in a cabinet or use on a vanity.
