I've seen this tray attributed to Alexander Girard. Doing some fabric research (googling alexander girard fabric), I saw that his Circles design looks awfully similar, except for the alternate colorway and the circles on the tray are staggered.

Scrolling the

These Deka Plastics trays...
These Deka Plastics trays came in a whole slew of patterns....One actually similar to a La Fonda Del Sol zodiac...... I don't think any of them are Girard, but I collected them all anyway. I think have 5 or 6 different patterns. If anybody's interested, I can post pics.

Do you think Wright Auctions would have listed it as Girard if it was in question? It didn't sell for much.

Yes...auction houses make mistakes/mis-attributions all the time. I think there's a reason the tray has never showed up in any other auction catalog since.
