This strawberry tray was designed by David Marshall in Spain, circa the 1970s. The piece combines a cast aluminum bowl with a brass stem and leaf motif at the top, creating a two-tone finish across the strawberry form. The interior surface carries a texture of small raised dots that echo the seeds of the fruit, while the exterior curves into a smooth, organic silhouette. Its shallow, dish-like profile makes it suited to holding small jewelry, keys, or bar garnishes, and its sculptural shape also reads as a standalone object d'art on a shelf or console. David Marshall is known for sculptural metal objects and tableware produced in Spain from the 1970s onward, frequently pairing natural or figurative forms with mixed metal finishes. The tray is signed. Its scale suits a nightstand, vanity, or small serving surface, and works equally well in a bar setup or a dressing room display. The contrast between the brass leaf and the aluminum body gives the tray a sculptural presence that goes beyond a simple piece of tableware.
