Know before you buy
Yes, because the tray features a mirror-polished stainless steel finish, it will show fingerprints and smudges easily. We recommend keeping a soft microfiber cloth nearby to maintain its high-shine appearance.
Yes, the tray is food-safe. Its irregular, crumpled design makes it a striking choice for serving hors d'oeuvres, fruit, or chocolates.
The tray is designed with a stable base despite its irregular, crumpled aesthetic. It sits securely on flat surfaces like dining tables, coffee tables, or sideboards.
Clean the tray with warm water and a mild detergent, then dry it immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals that could scratch the polished surface.
As a vintage Georg Jensen item from 1988, the tray may exhibit slight signs of age or unique character marks consistent with its history. These details are part of its charm and authenticity as a collectible design object.
