1960s | Lucite Tortoise Tray


1960s | Lucite Tortoise Tray
Sleek, luminous, and unmistakably modern, this vintage amber Lucite dish embodies the refined glamour of mid-century design. The gently curved rectangular form feels both sculptural and lightweight, showcasing Lucite’s iconic clarity and warm glow. Soft swirls and smoky feathering move through the amber body, creating depth and movement reminiscent of molten resin — a visual effect that shifts beautifully with changing light.
The piece’s tapered, subtly bowed edges enhance its elegant silhouette, making it just as striking displayed upright as it is used functionally. Perfect as a catchall, vanity tray, bar accessory, or standalone decorative accent, it brings that polished, gallery-worthy presence Lucite is celebrated for. Pieces in this color and clarity are increasingly rare, making this one a standout for collectors and design-forward interiors.
