This year when I opened up the big chest where I keep my Christmas decorations these two vintage bird trays were on top. I remember when I bought these at the flea market I was so pleased with the stylized bird design. I'm no art historian, but they are so 60's to me while at the same time having a Scandinavian (top one) and Asian (bottom one) flair. They remind me of the birds from one of my favorite books of all time Designs of Chinese Indigo Batik (this book is a must-have if you like this style!). Regardless, they couldn't be more me and they are a wonderful addition to my vintage metal tray collection. And if you come visit me this month it is very likely I will even serve you tea and scones on one of them!
