This is a "vide-poche" which translates to means "pocket-emptier" — it's the French term for a small dish or tray used to hold keys, coins, and other small items, often translated as "catch-all," "valet tray," or "pocket tray."

This model stands out for the addition of a thin handle attached at the sides, allowing it to be used as a small display basket or decorative catch-all/valet tray.

Please note that measurements may vary by up to 0.5 inches.
