Vintage Kyes Pasadena Champagne Moiré Glaze Serving Tray with Ornate Brass Handles

DESCRIPTION

Elegant and wonderfully decorative, this vintage Kyes serving tray features the maker's distinctive Moiré Glaze finish in a soft champagne-gold tone, framed by warm metal edging and beautifully sculpted handles.

Handmade in Pasadena, California, Kyes trays are known for their richly textured glazed surfaces and ornamental metalwork. This example has a particularly sophisticated neutral palette, allowing the intricate pattern of the glaze and architectural handles to take center stage.

Equally lovely used for cocktails and entertaining or styled on a bar cart, coffee table, console, or dressing table, it is a beautiful example of glamorous mid-century California design.

FROM THE HOUSE

There are certain entertaining pieces that are just as beautiful at rest as they are in use, and this Kyes tray is a wonderful example. The champagne Moiré finish has a quiet luminosity that changes with the light, while the ornamental handles give the piece just enough grandeur.

We particularly love its neutral palette — elegant enough for a beautifully dressed cocktail hour, yet restrained enough to remain on display long after the glasses have been put away.
