Know before you buy
No, this tray is not food-safe. We recommend using it to display items that are already on plates, in small bowls, or wrapped, such as champagne flutes or napkins.
To preserve the polished finish, hand wash the tray gently with a soft cloth and mild soap, then dry it immediately. Avoid abrasive scrubbers and never place it in the dishwasher, as this can damage the silver plating.
This piece is in excellent vintage condition. While it has been well-maintained, please keep in mind that vintage items may show very minor signs of age, which only adds to their authentic character.

Yes, the integrated handles are designed for stability. However, given the tray's size and silver-plated construction, we recommend using both hands to ensure a balanced grip when transporting items.
