Serving Tray with Longhorn Motif by Arthur Court

A longhorn breaks through the rim at one corner, trailing a lasso behind him.

This serving tray with longhorn motif is cast aluminum, by Arthur Court, ca. 2005. Arthur Court became known for polished cast aluminum serving pieces featuring animals and western themes, durable enough for everyday entertaining. The long rectangular tray is framed by a twisting rope border, looped and pierced around the edge. A longhorn steer's head emerges in high relief at upper left, horns sweeping across the rim. Coiled lariats with tasseled ends run along the polished well. It is 18 inches wide and 5 high.

Ranch life, served at room temperature.
