The panel is divided into three horizontal bands: cobalt berry vines above and below, and an ivory leaf scroll running the full length between them. The 8 by 16 inch proportion is made for console tables, bar carts, and long dining tables where a square tray would look stranded.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTerracotta-brown ground divided into three horizontal motif bands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCobalt blue berry-and-leaf vines in the upper and lower bands, raised in thick paint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIvory leaf scroll running the full length of the centre band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurquoise scallop arcades and ivory paisley vines on the rim, with cut-out side handles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 x 16 inches (20 x 41 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Seasoned solid wood with hand-painted oil finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glossy, sealed, waterproof oil-based paint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Console and bar cart tray, long table centrepiece, canape and snack service, bathroom vanity organiser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-wash with mild soap, dry immediately, avoid dishwashers, soaking, and abrasive scourers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhat is a long 8x16 tray best used for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt suits anything laid out in a line: a row of glasses on a bar cart, canapes or dates and sweets passed around, candles and a small vase down the centre of a table, or bottles and jars corralled on a bathroom counter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhy is the design in bands rather than a medallion?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eA circular or diamond medallion looks compressed on a panel twice as long as it is wide. Swati painters switch to horizontal banding on long trays so the pattern reads evenly along the whole length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eAre the cobalt motifs raised?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The berry dots and leaf forms are laid on in thicker paint than the ground, giving a low relief that you can feel through the sealing gloss. It is characteristic of Swati work and it catches light along the length of the tray.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWill it fit on a standard console table?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 8 inches deep it fits almost any console, including narrow hallway consoles of 10 to 12 inches. The 16-inch length gives it presence without dominating the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHandcrafted in Swat Valley, Pakistan.
