Shiraki Footed Tray (OUT OF STOCK)

Description

I am a Shiraki Footed Tray. Keep your eyes on the stars, your feet on the ground and your items on a tray.

Curator’s Notes

Honestly this tray is meant to be a serving dish but I don’t know if its the most appropriate eating dish. I can see it being used for serving food or tea during really formal gatherings but for the most part we don’t eat like this on a daily basis – typically it ends up being used as a display platform. It makes for a really elegant platform because of the negative space the slight elevation creates.
