This is a RARE Dansk Designs Denmark "Festivaal" "Eyeball" Cheese Board Serving Tray in Orange. It measures 19 by 15 inches across and has a few small cracks to the lacquer, otherwise its in very nice condition . This Rare series was made for a short time from 1959 and 1962. About the Festivaal Line: The rarest of Dansk collectables come from the "Festivaal" line, which only lasted from 1959 to 1962. These consisted of trays and bowls made of lacquer in bright day glow colors, which hadn't been seen at the time. They were meant to complement the bright colors of the popular enamel cookware known as Købenstyle. This material however, turned out to be far too delicate for utilitarian use. It would chip easily, crack at even slight temperature changes, and was hard to clean. It was expensive to manufacture as well, thus production was halted. Today, many of the Festivaal pieces have not survived, and most, if they have, are in poor condition. Please see photos and feel free to ask any questions, thanks!
