Wooden handles stay cooler than metal handles when the tray is carrying hot drinks, and the natural material adds a warmth to the overall aesthetic that pure metal cannot provide. A tray that feels as good in the hand as it looks on the table.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBrowse our full \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/serveware-table\"\u003eserving tray collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandles:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wooden\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Metal\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Turkey\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cooler handles · natural warmth\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.
