A Japanese Export silver rectangular tray- the perfect size for a three piece tea set.
The raised double sided border is finely hand engraved with trailing flowers – all with auspicious meanings
Lotus for strength and resilience
Plum blossom for new beginnings
Peonies for happiness, wealth, romance
