A mid-century German silver-plated footed tray by F.W. Quist GmbH of Esslingen, featuring a hand-hammered surface, softly scalloped edge and four integrated ball feet.
The hammered interior creates a subtle textured surface that catches the light, while the scalloped perimeter and rounded feet give the piece a playful yet refined character. Its compact size makes it particularly versatile as a small trinket or jewellery dish, catch-all tray, or decorative accent on a dressing table, bedside table or desk.
The reverse bears the original F.W. Quist maker's mark, featuring a five-pointed star above the Quist name within a circular cartouche framed by an arched border.
