This antique hand-painted porcelain serving tray features a beautiful grapevine design with clusters of purple grapes, green leaves, and winding brown vines. The artwork has a soft, hand-painted appearance that gives the piece the charm and character of individually decorated china from the early twentieth century. The tray is square in shape with molded side handles and delicate gold trim around the edge. Signed "AES" by the artist, it is a lovely example of hand-painted porcelain and would make an attractive display piece, vanity tray, serving dish for wrapped candies, or addition to a collection of antique china.

History & Age
Hand-painted porcelain pieces such as this were especially popular during the late Victorian and early 20th Century periods. Decorative artists often purchased undecorated porcelain blanks from American and European manufacturers and then hand-painted floral, fruit, and nature-inspired designs. Signed examples were frequently marked by the decorator rather than the porcelain factory. This tray's hand-painted grapevine motif, gold trim, molded handles, and artist signature "AES" are characteristic of pieces produced during this era.
Estimated age: approximately 1900–1920.
Would be a wonderful gift for a holiday or special occasion.
