A closer look
This finished leather tray is crafted from American Horween Chromexcel (CXL) leather, specifically an undyed natural tan "tea-core" (tea-core) full-grain cowhide with a thickness of approximately 4mm. The substantial thickness of the material allows the tray to hold its shape while maintaining a supple, organic form. The exterior surface displays the characteristic napped, suede-like texture of the leather's flesh side, exhibiting a warm, earthy medium brown color with subtle tonal variations and a soft, matte finish. In contrast, the interior grain side is smooth with a gentle, low-luster sheen, showing natural grain patterns and a rich, deep brown hue that darkens toward the base.
The tray is constructed from a single circular piece of leather, formed into a shallow, open bowl shape by folding and securing the edges. Four evenly spaced tabs are folded inward from the rim and fastened to the body with solid brass Chicago screws. These fasteners feature a flat, slotted head on the exterior and a smooth, rounded cap on the interior, providing a functional yet decorative hardware element with a warm, golden metallic contrast against the brown leather. The edges of the leather are left raw and unfinished, highlighting the natural fiber structure and the thickness of the hide.
Centrally embossed on the interior base is a detailed, debossed graphic of a stylized cartoon character. The figure features a large head with prominent eyes, a wide grin, and a tall top hat, rendered in a vintage, hand-drawn illustration style. The embossing is deep and crisp, creating a tactile relief that catches the light and adds a distinct focal point to the smooth inner surface. The overall design reflects an American vintage and Amekaji (Amekaji) aesthetic, emphasizing rugged materials and utilitarian construction.
The tray's dimensions are defined by its circular footprint and shallow depth, suitable for holding small everyday carry items such as keys, coins, or jewelry. The 4mm leather thickness provides significant structural integrity, ensuring the tray maintains its form during use. The spatial arrangement of the four brass fasteners creates a balanced, symmetrical appearance, while the contrast between the napped exterior and the smooth, embossed interior adds visual and tactile depth. The natural variations in the tea-core leather ensure that each piece will develop a unique patina over time, enhancing its character and appeal.
