This square serving tray is hand-painted in the Swati naqashi tradition of Swat Valley, Pakistan, using oil-based paints applied over seasoned wood. A warm antique-gold ground carries a grid of twenty-five painted tiles, each holding a single stylised blossom in turquoise, cobalt, crimson, or ivory. The sealed gloss finish makes the surface waterproof and wipe-clean for daily table use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Swati naqashi painting?

Naqashi is the freehand ornamental painting practised in the Swat Valley of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. 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.

How much tableware fits on a 12x12 inch tray?

The 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.

Can the tray get wet?

The 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.

Will my tray look exactly like the photograph?

Each tile and vine is painted freehand, so petal shapes, dot spacing, and the depth of the gold ground vary slightly between trays. These differences confirm the piece is hand-made rather than printed.

Handcrafted in Swat Valley, Pakistan. Minor variations in color and pattern are natural features of authentic handmade work.
