This square serving tray from Swat Valley, Pakistan, pairs a muted slate-blue ground with a bright hand-painted daisy grid. Ivory, saffron, and crimson blossoms fill a ruled grid of thirty-six squares, and a saffron medallion breaks the pattern at the center. The restrained base color makes it one of the easier Swati pieces to place in a contemporary kitchen.
