A gold trellis runs across the whole inner panel, and every opening holds a blossom in turquoise, crimson, or ivory. Allover patterns take longer to execute than medallion designs and are the pieces Swati workshops are best known for outside Pakistan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright cobalt blue ground with a continuous gold trellis across the inner panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-painted daisies in turquoise, crimson, and ivory, each finished with a contrasting centre dot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrimson and ivory paisley vine border running around the full raised rim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaffron and crimson pinstripes on the edges, panel frame, and both cut-out side handles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 x 15 inches (30 x 38 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Seasoned solid wood with hand-painted oil finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glossy, sealed, waterproof oil-based paint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Serving tray for tea and coffee, dining table centrepiece, coffee-table and ottoman styling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-wash with mild soap, dry immediately, avoid dishwashers, soaking, and abrasive scourers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eHow many daisies are painted on a tray this size?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn allover lattice on a 12x15 inch panel typically carries between two hundred and three hundred individual blossoms, each outlined and centred by hand. No two trays have exactly the same count.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eDoes the pattern continue onto the rim and handles?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lattice stops at the ruled panel edge. The rim carries a different motif, a crimson and ivory paisley vine, and the handles are lined in saffron. Swati trays almost always change pattern between panel and rim.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eIs cobalt blue the same as the indigo trays?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Cobalt is a brighter, more saturated blue that makes the ivory and crimson florals pop, while indigo is darker and pairs with gold. Both are traditional Swati grounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eCan it double as a decorative wall piece?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Allover designs read well flat on a wall or leaning on a shelf.
