To maintain its luster, hand wash the tray with mild soap and warm water, then dry immediately with a soft cloth. Use a high-quality silver polish specifically formulated for silver-plated items if tarnish appears.
While the tray is designed for serving, it is best used for room-temperature appetizers, cocktails, or decorative display. Avoid placing extremely hot items directly on the surface to preserve the finish.
Yes, the Albi tray's clean, traditional lines make it an excellent choice for displaying jewelry, perfume bottles, or small trinkets on a vanity or coffee table.
To prevent premature tarnishing, store the tray in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight. If you plan to store it for an extended period, wrapping it in acid-free tissue paper or a tarnish-resistant cloth is recommended.
