Artisans build up geometric and floral motifs in oil-based paint on wood without stencils or transfers, then seal the surface with a clear gloss. The craft is traditionally passed from master to apprentice within family workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eHow much tableware fits on a 12x12 inch tray?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 12-inch square surface comfortably holds a teapot with two cups and saucers, or four mugs, or a cafetiere with a small milk jug and sugar bowl. The raised lip keeps items from sliding when the tray is carried.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eCan the tray get wet?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe oil-based paint is sealed with a waterproof gloss, so spills and condensation rings wipe off with a damp cloth. Prolonged soaking or dishwasher cycles will lift the paint, so wash by hand and dry straight away.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWill my tray look exactly like the photograph?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach tile and vine is painted freehand, so petal shapes, dot spacing, and the depth of the gold ground vary slightly between trays.
