This is a Mepra Tray that has a Palm Tree in the center with copper leaves and also has a series of eight curved copper extensions at the base of tree, It has a chrome base and trunk of tree - might possibly be stainless steel but looks and feels more like chrome to me. It is marked on the base "MEPRA INOX 18/10 ITALY". I am not sure what the tray was designed for or how to use it - very nice as a centerpiece or for display - great design! The base measures approx 6 1/2" across and it measures approx 6" tall and it is in good pre-owned condition. sale TERMS AND CONDITIONS: Please email me with any questions.
