This small serving tray features a persimmon design to the centre, with the wood highlighted brilliantly by the lacquer. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo the back is a circular design, known as sen-dan-bori, which serves two purposes. Firstly it highlights the contrast of colour within the tray whilst secondly acting as a grip for the trap to remain stationary on a table. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything about this piece is a celebration of craftsmanship and care to detail. Measuring at approximately 21cm in diameter, it is in excellent condition with no major marks or scratches that are visible. There is a makers mark to the back of the letter ‘K’, I suspect this dates the tray to early mid century however cannot find any further details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst this is a beautiful and no doubt functional tray, it would also be stunning as a piece of wall art, adding some natural texture to your room!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Academic’s","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55286492922189,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5152\/1101\/files\/IMG_1625.jpg?v=1793831943","url":"https:\/\/theacademicshouse.co.uk\/products\/plate-5","provider":"The Academic’s","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
