The piece bears the PHL stamp associated with Leonard, an explorer active around 1897, and was crafted on a porcelain blank manufactured by Coiffe prior to 1896, before the company was sold to Laviolette. This places the tray firmly in the late 19th century, making it a true antique.

The tray is beautifully decorated with soft lavender floral motifs, accented by hand-applied gold trim, all set against a warm cream-white porcelain base. The elegant proportions and delicate decoration make it ideal as a bedside jewelry dish, vanity tray, or small catchall for treasured items.

This is a meaningful gift for collectors, history lovers, or anyone who appreciates antiques with provenance and character. It is a piece that truly has history in its bones—each mark telling part of its story.
