Tray


USA, c. 1913-15
handwrought copper
13.5 h x 10.5 w x 0.5 d in (34 x 27 x 1 cm)

This example has a wide circular well and two built-in handles with soft curves. Its simple form shows subtle hammer marks and a warm, mottled brown patina typical of van Erp's metalwork. The tray combines sculptural simplicity with practical use, reflecting the straightforward materials and craftsmanship associated with California Arts & Crafts design.

Impressed open-box windmill mark to underside 'Dirk van Erp'.
