Description
Rectangular wooden tray with bent-wood handles. The tray has half-lap joints secured by three nails secured along the vertical edge of one side. The handles are secured, one end each, to the exterior of the long side, spanning the width of the tray, by a metal screw and washer. The handles' shapes are irregular, and though they are a pair, have different dimensions and bends to them. The tray's bottom has 13 wooden slats evenly spaced leaving approximately a 1/2" gap between each. The slats are set into an interior groove on the longs sides and then secured by an additional board hammered on the inside of each of the other three sides.
