The wide, shallow circular form is crafted from heavy glass, featuring an opaque white core with an etched or textured, fibrous surface resembling the iris. This texture is contained by a contrasting polished black glass border and a deep black central aperture. The effect is mesmerizingly graphic and sculptural, transforming a functional object into a striking art piece. It serves as an impressive ashtray, a decorative pin/trinket dish, or a sculptural centerpiece in Hollywood Regency, Minimalist, or Contemporary settings.

The tray measures 7.75 inches round and is only 1.5 inches tall, emphasizing its horizontal impact. The weight of the glass confirms its high quality and solid construction. It is in great vintage condition, with the glass remaining highly polished. The design is intended to draw the eye, making it a compelling conversation starter for any sophisticated collection.
