Know before you buy
The Buena Vista relish tray measures 7.875 inches in length, making it a compact piece suitable for serving butter, small appetizers, or individual relishes.
This tray is crafted from fine bone china, which is known for its durability, lightweight feel, and signature sheer ivory translucency.
Because this is a vintage piece, we recommend hand washing it with mild detergent to preserve the delicate blue and gray floral accents and the integrity of the bone china.
We advise against using this piece in the microwave or dishwasher. The heat and harsh detergents can damage the vintage glaze and the fine floral detailing over time.
The Buena Vista (9728) pattern features a specific ivory base and floral motif. It is best suited for collectors looking to complete an existing 9728 set or those who enjoy mixing vintage floral china pieces.
