Know before you buy
Yes, the tray is food safe and meets both FDA and California Article 65 standards, making it perfectly suitable for serving appetizers, tapas, or small bites.
No, this tray is not dishwasher, microwave, or oven safe. Due to the delicate hand-painted details and gold lustre embellishment, it must be hand-washed with care to preserve its finish.
The tray measures 18 inches long, 5 inches wide, and 2 inches tall, providing a slim, elongated profile ideal for centerpieces or narrow serving spaces.
Because each piece is handcrafted and hand-painted by artisans, there may be slight variations in the pattern and finish. These unique characteristics are a hallmark of the MacKenzie-Childs process and ensure that every tray is a one-of-a-kind work of art.
The gold lustre is a decorative finish that can be sensitive to abrasive cleaners. To keep it looking its best, use a soft cloth and mild soap when hand-washing, and avoid using scouring pads or harsh detergents.
