Vintage LaVada Floral Metal Serving Tray

Bring a delightful layer of atomic-era charm to your morning routine with this fantastic 1960s lithographed metal breakfast lap tray. This highly collectible piece features an illustration by the prominent mid-century lifestyle and textile designer LaVada, whose distinctive signature is cleanly integrated into the bottom corner of the graphic work. The design showcases a vibrant, central floral chintz bouquet packed with deep marigolds, orange blossoms, and stylized olive-green leaves sitting inside a minimalist black vase. The arrangement rests against a phenomenal, geometric harvest-gold basketweave lattice pattern accented by tiny pink starburst florets, presenting a textbook example of mid-century harvest chic. Measuring a highly practical 17.5 by 13 inches, this substantial tray is equipped with its original, built-in folding metal legs that allow it to stand securely upright for breakfast-in-bed styling, a cozy couch coffee tray, or a lightweight laptop desk. The clever mechanics allow the sturdy gold-toned legs to fold completely flush into the recessed base, turning it into a flat serving platter that can be stacked away or leaned against a kitchen wall as an iconic piece of retro gallery art. Perfect for fans of 1960s kitsch, Hollywood Regency accents, or vintage tinware collectors, this signed designer piece balances nostalgic visual appeal with excellent daily utility. • Metal Body & Graphics: Outstanding structural integrity across the entire 17.5-inch tin frame, remaining flat and true with the front lithographed LaVada graphics retaining beautiful, sharp color vibrancy and zero heavy sun fading. • Folding Legs & Mechanism: Both matching gold-toned wire legs are fully intact, unbent, and operational, swinging open with excellent factory tension and folding back completely flush against the base. • Surface & Backing: The front face is beautifully preserved with no heavy textured rust pitting, while the reverse side sports its original matte-gold enameled backing, showing only minimal, age-appropriate storage scuffs that elevate its genuine vintage character.
