Know before you buy
No, this tray is intended for decorative use only and is not food safe. It is best suited for displaying objects, candles, or as a centerpiece on a console or coffee table.
To preserve the polished finish, hand wash the tray with mild soap and water, then dry it immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or putting it in the dishwasher, as these can damage the metal surface.
No, the Vento tray is not oven or microwave safe. Because it is made of aluminum alloy, it should never be placed in any heating appliance.
The tray is created using an ancient sand-casting process where molten aluminum is poured into sand molds. This artisanal method, combined with four levels of hand-polishing, gives each piece its distinct character and depth.
The tray does not feature a non-slip surface. We recommend placing it on a stable, level surface or using a small felt pad underneath if you are concerned about it sliding on delicate furniture.
