Small in size but big on charm — this mid-century teak tray from Japan is carved in the shape of a stylised fish, with a curved tail, tapered edges, and a beautifully grained surface. Lightweight yet sturdy, it has a smooth finish that shows off the rich, reddish tone of the wood.
Produced in Japan during the 1960's–70's, these teak fish trays were popular as both serving objects and decorative pieces, often sold as part of modernist homeware lines meant to blend functionality with a touch of play. The form nods to both Scandinavian simplicity and Japanese minimalism — making it a natural fit for lovers of either aesthetic.
Perfect for snacks, keys, jewellery, or just sitting pretty on a shelf. It’s one of those little pieces that adds character and quiet humour wherever it lands.

NOTE ON JAPANESE TEAKWARE - In the postwar decades, Japan became known for high-quality wooden home goods that blended traditional craft with international design trends.
