The fluid asymmetrical shape has an unmistakably Space Age quality, while the softly brushed satin silver tone finish gives the surface a restrained modernist appearance. Subtle vintage scuffs and patina add to its aged character.

Designed as both a functional dish and a sculptural tabletop object, it can be used to hold jewelry, keys, or other small personal items, or displayed on its own as an accent piece. Its elongated form works especially well on a console, dresser, vanity, coffee table, or bookshelf, where the unusual Space Age silhouette can be appreciated as a decorative object as much as a serving or catchall dish.

The underside is marked **“Exclusively for Federated Department Stores”** and **“Made in India.”** It also features a distinctive pierced dot style marking in which small punched holes form letters or symbols. The combination of sculptural modernist design, Indian production, and documented department store distribution makes this a particularly unusual example of Mid Century decorative metalwork. See less
