This incredible TRAY of original hammered copper Craftsman signed Craftsman Studios, Hand Made, Laguna Beach, California, created at a time when Laguna Beach was inhabited by some of the most talented artists and crafts people of the 20th century. The epitome of Craftsman style,I estimate this piece to be at least 86 years old, but perhaps older due to the makers mark. The mark changed in 1920 when the company changed to "Craftsman Studios." operating between 1920 and 1939, hence these pieces would be pre-1920.
