Small metal tray, Table of children - Chocolat Delespaul-Havez

This vintage trinket tray brings back an advertisement for Delespaul-Havez chocolate dating back to 1900. It shows a table full of children with clownish faces enjoying melted chocolate. The image is striking because of its incongruity: it is the letters of the word “chocolate” that seem to be melting and delighting these little gourmands. This retro trinket tray will delight young and old alike.
