Vintage Austria Porcelain Vanity Tray Hand Painted Lady Roses w Provenance

This is a beautiful ceramic/porcelain tray marked Victoria Austria, likely dating to the early 1900s. It features a scalloped edge and a vivid glazed design with: * Center medallion: A romantic pastoral scene of a lady in flowing dress with flowers. * Side medallions: Hand-painted pink roses on soft green backgrounds. * Ground: Striking turquoise-blue glaze with gold gilt accents. The back bears the Victoria Austria hallmark along with a fascinating provenance note: According to the note, the tray was once owned by a bartender named Ed Moffat, who received it in 1931 from the celebrated French-American soprano Lily Pons as a gift of thanks while she stayed in New York City. Later, Moffat passed the tray to the consignor’s mother as a gesture of kindness. This makes the tray not only a fine piece of Austrian porcelain but also a unique collectible with a direct connection to Lily Pons, one of the most famous opera singers of the 20th century. 🔹 Details * Maker’s Mark: Victoria Austria (green crown stamp) * Likely Production Date: c. 1900–1920s * Type: Vanity / dresser tray (rectangular) * Size: (12" x 7.5" x 1/2") * Design: Hand-painted florals and romantic figural scene * Provenance: Documented note adhered to back 🔹 Condition * Vintage condition with light surface wear and expected age-related marks. * No visible cracks or major chips; displays beautifully. * Please see all photos for best representation
