Know before you buy
Yes, the tray is designed for serving food. Since it is crafted from natural Purpleheart wood with a natural finish, we recommend using it for dry snacks, crackers, or cheeses rather than wet or acidic foods to preserve the wood's integrity.
To keep the wood in top condition, hand wash the tray with mild soap and water, then dry it immediately. Avoid soaking it or putting it in the dishwasher, and periodically apply a food-safe mineral oil to maintain the wood's natural luster.
The tray is designed with a stable base that ensures it sits flat on any level surface. Despite its unique fish silhouette, it is balanced to function perfectly as both a serving piece and a decorative accent.
No, the tray features a natural finish. It is hand-carved from Purpleheart wood, highlighting the authentic color and grain of the material without the use of synthetic stains or harsh chemical coatings.
Absolutely. Its distinct fish shape and rich, deep wood tones make it an excellent centerpiece for a coffee table, console, or bookshelf even when it is not being used for serving.
