- Handle style is geometric and hexagonal, rising from a round molded pedestal center.
- Edge is scalloped all the way around the tray.
- Construction is factory-molded glass, not hand-blown.

This type of tray was made for serving tidbits, candies, cookies, or small hors d'oeuvres. Today it works well as a display piece, vanity tray, or collectible example of Depression-era style glass.
