Chrome done right looks like this — a 13-inch gallery tray with a pierced reticulated border, Gadroon rim, and an etched center of shells, flowers, and lattice that is genuinely beautiful to look at, and genuinely easy to own.
Made by Irvinware (a division of Beatrice Foods by 1975) and still in its original box, Pattern #2211 represents the best of American mid-century hollowware design. The chrome finish means it will never tarnish — no polishing, no maintenance, just the permanent gleam of well-made metalwork. It looks like silverplate, performs better.
Style it on a bar cart, use it as a perfume tray, display it on a console, or serve from it at the table. A no-fuss, high-style piece that works in almost any room.
