The tray is marked on the underside with Gien's black printed "three tower" hallmark, used after 1866. Founded in 1821, the Faïencerie de Gien is one of France’s most renowned faience manufacturers.

A versatile piece that complements French Country decor, it’s perfect not only for traditional serving but also as a stylish coffee table catch-all or an entryway organizer for keys, sunglasses, and mail.
