The Lacquer Company Castello Tray

Son Mai is a traditional Vietnamese lacquer technique that involves applying multiple layers of natural resin, which are then sanded and polished to a high-gloss finish. This process creates a hard, durable surface that is resistant to moisture and heat, making it suitable for daily use as a serving or display piece.

While the Son Mai lacquer finish is durable and non-toxic, this tray is primarily designed as a decorative accent or for serving dry goods. It is best to avoid direct contact with acidic or extremely hot foods to preserve the integrity of the finish over time.

To keep the tray looking its best, simply wipe it down with a soft, dry, or slightly damp microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, abrasive sponges, or soaking the tray in water, as these can dull the polished surface.

Measuring 11 by 7.75 inches, this tray is ideal for smaller vignettes. It works perfectly as a catch-all for keys and mail in an entryway, a sophisticated organizer for perfumes or skincare on a vanity, or a refined base for a small cocktail setup.

The two-tone design is integrated into the structure of the tray, mimicking architectural turrets. Because the finish is consistent across the piece, it looks polished from any angle, allowing you to place it on a coffee table or console without worrying about a 'front' or 'back' orientation.
