Charmingly handpainted in the Naïf style, this petite ( 4“) trinket dish by Milou Neelen is a combination of innocence and finished sophistication.
A collaboration between Neelen and Anthropologie, the delightful collection consists of a line of accessories based on what an imaginary hotel created by the two would look and feel like.
On this sweet little tray, a primitively drawn white dove rises into flight against a brushy, French blue sky. Stark rays alternating with powerful black dots form a graphic frame around the image, and the bright white ground is bounded by cobalt trim lines.
Texture is another important aspect of this piece. It is a pleasure to run your finger over the slightly bumpy surfaces and feel the connection with the artist’s hand.
Whether used as a resting place for rings and earrings, a holder for a pretty little soap, to serve tiny canapés or as a place to collect olive pits, this mini tray will add way more style than its size would indicate.
In EUC with no cracks, chips, fading, crazing or staining, the tiny treasure ships USPS Ground Advantage from Los Angeles.
Here is some background on the collaboration, for those interested.
