Reverse Painted Glass and Wood Tray from Peru, "Birds of a Feather in Rose"

This beautiful tray, crafted in the time-honored tradition of reverse-painted glass, is designed by Felipe Giron in Peru. Two birds perched on a flowering branch are painted with meticulous detail on the reverse side of a glass pane. The pane is then set on the wood tray, and a gold-toned rim with handles completes the design. The painted motifs are so lovely that you might find yourself reluctant to place anything on the tray.
