The tray tables from Schleswig, North Germany are in a class of their own and often differ widely. They may have festoon borders of green and manganese as well as scattered flowers. Most are painted blue and often have depictions of houses, landscape and decorative figures inside a Rococo frame. The tray tables range from the Rococo up to the Neo-Classical, and there exist some especially good examples with decoration from the latter period such as this one, which will be sold at this auction. It is also noteworthy that one does not expect to encounter Neo-Classicism in other products, even though the factory remained active until 1814.The tray table is pictured in Kai Uldall: Gammel Dansk Fajance, 1961, figure 132.
