Know before you buy
No. Because each tray is hand-carved and vintage, every piece features unique variations in wood grain, color, and texture. The item you receive will be a one-of-a-kind piece that reflects its own history.
This tray is not food-safe. It is intended for decorative use or for serving items that are already contained in bowls, plates, or mugs.
Because the wood has a natural, textured finish, you should avoid submerging it in water or using a dishwasher. Simply wipe the surface clean with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust or light debris.
The style options represent different vintage batches, each with distinct wood tones and slight variations in carving patterns. While all share the same square shape and raw aesthetic, each letter corresponds to a specific aesthetic profile curated by Rust and Cinder.
No, this tray does not feature handles. It is designed with a clean, square silhouette that prioritizes its historical, hand-carved aesthetic over modern utility features.
