Months ago, I posted this photo of a Miles Redd-designed room, as seen in Elle Decor, November 2006. Since then, several readers have asked for details on the tiny tray with the Warhol-like image of the last emperor of China, Pu Yi. This weekend, I discovered a good retail source: the Freer and Sackler Galleries online museum shop. Here you will find the tray, signed Fabienne Jouvin, Paris. The piece measures 4.75"x7.75"x.75" and is available in various colors. $28.95.
BTW: Because of its sumptuous colors and textures, Bernardo Bertolucci's film, The Last Emperor,
is often on designers' lists of visually inspirational movies.Update: Nomita sent in this alternative tray source: Global Table, under other. This shop offers green, beige, fuschia, and orange. The Freer and Sackler Galleries shop has a few more choices.
Update 5.22.07:
The light pink tray available through the Freer and Sackler Galleries has just sold out.
Update 9.12.10:
PEM currently sells the trays too.

You can find this exact tray on globaltable.com under the "other" category for only $18! You save $10 vs. this source! Hope this helps.
