Nesting Set of Four Small Brass Trays with an engraved designs of Bats, Chinese C20th
A set of four brass trays in graduating sizes of rounded rectangular form with indented corners each with an engraved design of four bats symbolising good fortune, longevity and happiness surrounding a central ‘shou’ symbol of simplified form, again representing longevity.

Perhaps for sweetmeats or other delicacies and probably made in the early twentieth century for the local market.Size: | 8 cm x 6.2 cm; 7.4cm x 5.5 cm ; 7 cm x 5 cm; 6.5 cm x 4.5 cm |
