[QUOTE="Debora, post: 1107218, member: 1476"]In the 1960s, Italy exported a great amount of Florentine toleware, as it's called. Many of the trays were in same shape as yours. Florence is also known for its leather work and a few trays had leather inserts instead of color decoration. Typically, items like this date to the onset of mass tourism -- the 1960s/1970s but, given the colorway of yours (and its hard to tell from photograph) yours is likely from the earlier part of that period. Here's something similar on offer at etsy.com. Yours would have been a handsome souvenir in its time.
