Swati painters use it as a filler motif inside lattices and as a repeating border element.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eIs the scarlet ground the same red as the 12x12 and 8x12 trays?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey are related but not identical. Grounds are mixed by hand in each batch, so a scarlet, a crimson, and a brick red across three trays will read as a family rather than a perfect match.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eDoes this size work for serving drinks?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
