This small rectangular tray is hand-painted in Swat Valley, Pakistan, on a midnight-navy ground. A diamond-shaped medallion fills the centre with ivory foliate sprays drawn over dense gold liner work, edged by a turquoise scallop band and crimson corner panels. At 8 by 12 inches it is sized for a single tea service, a bedside tray, or a vanity organiser rather than full table service.

Design Details

  • Midnight-navy ground with a central diamond medallion instead of the more common circle
  • Ivory foliate sprays radiating from a crimson rosette, drawn over fine gold arabesque
  • Turquoise scallop bands running along both sides of the diamond, with crimson corner panels
  • Crimson and gold vine border on the raised rim, ivory edge lining, and cut-out side handles

  • Material: Seasoned solid wood with hand-painted oil finish
  • Finish: Glossy, sealed, waterproof oil-based paint
  • Use: Tea or coffee tray for one to two, bedside and vanity tray, perfume and jewellery display
  • Care: Hand-wash with mild soap, dry immediately, avoid dishwashers, soaking, and abrasive scourers

Frequently Asked Questions

What fits on an 8x12 inch tray?

It holds two mugs with a small plate, a single cup and saucer with a teapot for one, or a perfume decanter with three or four bottles on a dressing table.

Why a diamond medallion rather than a circle?

On a narrow rectangular panel a circle leaves large empty corners. Swati painters switch to a diamond or lozenge on the smaller trays because it fills the proportions of the panel more evenly.

Is this size good for a bedside table?

Yes, it is the size most often used for bedside and vanity duty. The 8-inch depth clears a standard nightstand and the raised lip keeps small items from rolling off.

Can I order this design in a larger size?

The same diamond medallion composition is painted on the 8x16 long trays, though the proportions of the motif change. The 12-inch and 15-inch trays use circular medallions or allover lattices instead.

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