Vintage Brass Bar Tray for Cocktail Glasses | Mid-Century

Elevate your bar cart with this Mid-Century brass bar tray, perfectly sized to hold smaller-sized cocktail glasses.

Bring a touch of Mid-Century cocktail glamour to a bar cart with this vintage gold-tone brass barware tray, perfectly proportioned for displaying roly-poly glasses, lowball tumblers, cordials, or other small cocktail glassware.

The rectangular tray features an attractive pierced openwork gallery, petite ball feet, and a tall sculptural center handle that makes it both decorative and functional. Two long interior sections divide the tray into neat rows, creating an especially handsome presentation for a coordinated set of vintage glasses.

Its proportions are particularly well suited to the smaller roly-poly cocktail glasses popular during the 1950s and 1960s, including Culver-style glassware. Depending upon glass diameter, the tray can accommodate approximately eight smaller glasses.

Although this tray is unmarked and its maker is unknown, its brass-tone finish, openwork gallery and graceful carrying handle capture the elegant bar-cart aesthetic associated with Mid-Century Modern and Hollywood Regency entertaining.

Standing about 5 ¾″ high including the handles, the overall length and width measure 13 ½″ by 6 ½″. The divided interior sections measure approximately 13 ⅛″ by 3 ⅛″ and should hold 8 smaller glasses, depending on the diameter.

Good vintage condition with age-appropriate surface wear. There are several areas where the gold-tone/brass finish has worn or thinned, consistent with use and age. No dents or structural damage noted. Please review photographs closely as they form an important part of the condition description.
