    Neither do I, but ...
    The Etsy seller isn't the only one describing it as an ashtray. Same tray on Ebay and on a Russian and a Lithuanian site, also described as ashtray.

    The Met signs its reproductions with MMA (Metropolitan Museum of Art.)

    Met = Metal, usually pewter. It's an older mark usually, not associated with any company in particular.

    No depressions for cigarettes, so not an ashtray. Trinket tray or card tray maybe

    To my eye, it looks made before smoking became popular with women (1920s.)
