Midcentury Three-Tiered Tray

Astrid ran a very specific kind of tea party. No frills. No florals. No crustless cucumber sandwiches unless they were deconstructed and artfully reassembled with dill foam. Her guests—ceramicists, typography professors, a DJ from Berlin named Lars—knew to arrive dressed in raw linen and to never, under any circumstances, mention scones. The triple-tiered server was the centerpiece of it all: smoked almonds on the top, miniature gravlax tarts on the second, and licorice marzipan on the bottom. “Do you only serve snacks in descending order of saltiness?” someone once asked. She didn’t answer. She just rotated the server slowly, like a record. - 14.25"h, 13.25"dia - Pewter, teak - Condition: Excellent; minor scratches to plates
