The black and gold marble pattern on this tray is the visual language of Middle Eastern luxury: the combination that appears on mosque floors, on Ottoman manuscripts, on the decorative arts of the Arab and Persian world. When Fatima brings this tray to the table at an iftar or Eid gathering, it signals something to her guests before the tea is even poured — that this household knows its own aesthetic and has chosen it deliberately.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBrowse other designs in the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/serveware-table\"\u003eglass serving tray collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19 x 11.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black and gold marble\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glass · \u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Turkey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCurated by Rootsware · Crafted in Turkey\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy We Selected This Piece\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Rootsware, we carry serving pieces because the Turkish and Middle Eastern table tradition is not just about the food — it is about how the food arrives. The tray that carries the tea service, the platter that presents the sweets, the footed stand that elevates the baklava: these are not accessories but the infrastructure of hospitality. We selected pieces that fit the actual serving formats of diaspora households — the right sizes for a 6-person tea service, the right platters for a proper mezze spread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare \u0026amp; Cleaning\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFor metal trays and platters: wipe with a damp cloth.

Do not use abrasive scrubbers on decorative glass surfaces — they scratch the print.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFor mirrored surfaces: clean with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid ammonia-based glass cleaners which can damage the mirror backing over time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFor metal with gold or silver finish: polish occasionally with a soft cloth.

The decorative glass trays are food safe — the print is on the underside of the glass and does not come into contact with food. The surface in contact with food is clear glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size tray do I need for a 6-person tea service?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA round tray of 13–14 inches accommodates 6 tea glasses, a sugar bowl, and a small plate of sweets comfortably. Rectangular trays of 15–16 inches work well for passing service at the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use the footed platters for hot food?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe mirrored and glass footed platters are for cold or room-temperature presentation — sweets, pastries, fruit. They are not designed for hot dishes directly from the oven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre these suitable for outdoor use?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nMetal trays and platters are fine outdoors. Glass trays should be kept away from direct strong sunlight for extended periods, which can affect decorative finishes over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo the serving pieces come as matched sets?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSome items in this collection are available as individual pieces, others as sets.
