Comments/description: Large curved charger bears the same illustration as a similar oval serving tray promoting Velvet Beer, with cherubs presenting Terre haute brews to a waiting gathering of wanton, thirsty, aristocrats. Huge size at about 25 inches across. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.

Condition

Lighter shades of yellow, red, green and blue are almost completely absent, creating large areas that lack detail. These include the tablecloth, flesh tones, and clothing details. Possibly fade, possibly production-related. Aside from the colors, there are few notes: a 4-inch kink near the cherubs, a drip of paint on the arm of the woman receiving the drink, a few minor rub and oxidation spots, and a bend at the bottom. These are all very minimal given the size of the piece.
