FAQs
Is the foldable stand included with the tray?
No, the foldable stand is typically sold separately. Please check the product listing for details.
What are the dimensions of the tray?
Specific dimensions vary by model, but this is a circular tray. Please refer to the detailed product specifications for exact measurements.
Can this tray be used for serving food directly?
While durable, it is a hand-decorated art piece. It is recommended for serving lighter items and using coasters to protect the artwork from direct contact with food or beverages.
How do I know if my tray is authentic?
Authentic Fornasetti pieces are typically marked with the brand's insignia or signature. Purchasing from authorized retailers guarantees authenticity. Minor variations in hand-decoration are normal.
What makes this tray part of the 'High Fidelity' collection?
The 'High Fidelity' collection features designs inspired by Pietro Fornasetti's fascination with cats, rendered in his distinctive artistic style.
What is the best way to clean the tray?
Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For minor marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used. Avoid abrasive cleaners and excessive moisture.
Troubleshooting
Tray wobbles when used with a stand
Ensure the foldable stand is fully opened and locked into place on a level surface. Check that the tray is properly seated on the stand's supports.
Artwork appears smudged or faded
This may indicate improper cleaning. Use only a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth as per care instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture. For significant fading, consult Fornasetti for restoration advice.
Minor imperfections in the artwork
These are inherent to the hand-decorated nature of Fornasetti pieces and are considered marks of authenticity and uniqueness, not defects.
