Know before you buy
Son Mai is a traditional Vietnamese lacquer craft that involves applying multiple layers of natural resin, sanding, and polishing. This labor-intensive process results in a deep, durable, and high-gloss finish that is characteristic of artisanal lacquerware.
While the tray is food-safe, it is primarily designed as a decorative object. We recommend using it for dry snacks or as a display piece for jewelry, keys, or small accessories rather than for wet or hot items.
To keep the finish looking its best, wipe the tray with a soft, dry, or slightly damp microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, abrasive sponges, or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can dull the lacquer over time.
Yes, the tray is lightweight and features a smooth base. However, if you are concerned about potential scratching, you can easily apply small felt pads to the bottom to provide extra protection for your furniture.
The curved edging does slightly reduce the usable flat surface area compared to a standard rectangular tray. It is best suited for curated displays, such as a candle and a small vase, or for serving a few small items.
