Manufactured by the renowned Delano Studios (Setauket, Long Island, N.Y.), this premium ceramic catch-all trinket dish features an iconic mid-century aerial illustration of Candlestick Park.

Detailed Condition Report (Please Read Before offerding/Buying):
This tray is a true vintage piece but shows significant wear and cosmetic damage from age and storage:
• Edge/Rim Damage: There are multiple prominent chips and glaze loss flakes along the rim corners (most notable on the top edge and bottom left corner curves where the white ceramic body shows through the gold trim).
• Glaze Crazing: Severe, extensive webbed glaze crazing covers the entire front and back surfaces.
• Surface Scratches: Visible surface lines and light scuffs cross the stadium graphic.
• Discoloration: Moderate age-related tanning, browning, and shelf-wear staining are present along the inner margins and on the unglazed bottom resting rim.
This item is sold strictly AS-IS due to the edge chips. Please carefully inspect all high-resolution close-up photos of the corners to verify you are comfortable with its condition prior to purchase.
