The practice of enameling and painting has been widely practiced in Asia for centuries, but tole trays seem to have emerged around the 18th century, primarily among Scandinavian immigrants in New England. In addition to trays, these artisans produced a range of other goods in the same style, and all of the work was done by hand.” Edwardian renaissance romantic avant-garde vtg ooak maximalist disco mod boh core fancy grandma core granny core eclectic gra bohemian hipster lisa says gah retro travel flower psychedelic pierre cardin atomic eames mcm mor boho anthropologie ulla johnson rodarte doen sez garmentory reformation prairie parisian french mc modernist studio 54 mod pucci eccentric pop art jane birkin space age andy warhol gernreich pegg) unique 50s 60s 70s 80s 90s Y2K
