Tray

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photo of a glass tray by René Lalique. The tray has an organic shape with a smooth, glossy finish. It has a predominantly translucent appearance with areas of opacity and visible swirls of color. The tray's shape resembles a leaf or a seashell, with a curved handle on one side. The background of the image is a plain light gray color, which helps to highlight the details of the glass object. The object sits on a surface that appears to be a table or shelf, with a slight shadow underneath it. A small number '890' is printed on the lower right side.
