Know before you buy
No, this tray is intended for decorative use only and is not food safe. It is best utilized as a sophisticated accent piece for a coffee table, desk, or entryway.
Because the tray features a delicate hand-painted finish, it is not dishwasher safe. We recommend gently wiping the surface with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and maintain the luster of the pattern.
This tray does not feature handles. It is designed with a sleek, rectangular profile and a raised rim, which provides a clean, structured look for displaying items.
The Tobacco Leaf pattern is a classic Chinese Export design originally created for the Portuguese market. It is celebrated for its vibrant, intricate botanical details and remains a hallmark of traditional, high-end porcelain decor.
