The items have a matte, textured finish on the decorated surface and a plain white underside. The artist name RENOIR is printed in the lower right corner, and a vertical copyright inscription reading © BY SPADEM - PARIS melbel appears along the right edge. The base is embossed with a circular Melbel mark, the code V 18, and MADE IN ITALY. Approximate dimensions (measured against a ruler, only inches shown): L 40 cm x W 29.8 cm. Condition: Fair to good condition. The trays show moderate wear consistent with age, including surface scuffs, fine scratches, and minor staining on both the decorated surfaces and the undersides.
