“Beautiful”

This tray is really beautiful. I am very happy with it, but I would caution buyers that the finish is not smooth and glossy, as I thought it would be. It?s more of a porous, Terra cotta feel. I say this because, in spite of its description as suitable for food, microwave safe and dishwasher safe, I can?t imagine doing any of those things. I suspect my daughter will use it more for a catch all tray on her bureau. It?s truly lovely.

“Not finished, no glaze”

This appears to be air dry clay. It is not food safe! Its porous. If you want a tray for hair ribbons or the like it should work out well. I was hoping to use it as serving dish for olives, cheeses, etc. its not glazed. The art work is as shown however its not described as non functional art work. If it had hanging loops as part of the design it would be a great piece to hang.

Porous!

“Perfect Pot”

Received a Christmas Cactus for my Birthday, ordered this pot and it is perfect a little bigger than the plant so will give growing room. The artistry is excellent. The blue colour is so vivid, the painting so well done. I am so happy with this beautiful pot.
