The mirrored footed platter is the vessel for that gesture: lokum arranged on a reflective surface, baklava pieces displayed on a raised stand, the sweets visible from across the room before anyone has reached for one. The mirror doubles the visual impact; the foot elevates the presentation above the ordinary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt 5.9 inches, the right size for a personal arrangement or a small family offering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the larger versions, see \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/serveware-table\"\u003e7.9 inch\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/serveware-table\"\u003e9.9 inch mirrored platters\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.9 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mirrored footed stand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lokum · baklava · sweets · dessert display\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\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.

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.
