A horizontal black serving tray with a yellow pinstripe border features three floral vignettes with portraits, identified on a reverse label as the Ladies with Pansies design. A red horizontal tray features 1950s-era billboard art by Gil Elvgren titled Drive Refreshed, showing a woman in a yellow convertible.
