FAQs
What does 'Tema e Variazioni' mean?
'Tema e Variazioni' translates to 'Theme and Variations' in Italian. It refers to Fornasetti's series where the same motif, like Lina Cavalieri's face, is reinterpreted in numerous ways.
How is the tray different from other Fornasetti trays?
This specific tray, 'N.137', features a unique monochrome rendition of Lina Cavalieri's face with a distinct color accent flower, distinguishing it within the broader 'Tema e Variazioni' collection.
Can I use this tray for serving food?
While it is a functional tray, it is primarily designed as a decorative art piece. For serving food, it is recommended to use a protective barrier or coaster to maintain the integrity of the hand-decorated surface.
What are the dimensions of the tray and stand?
Specific dimensions vary slightly due to the artisanal nature. Please refer to the product specifications for precise measurements.
Is the stand also hand-decorated?

Can the stand be folded for storage?

Troubleshooting
Tray does not sit securely on the stand.
Ensure the foldable stand is fully opened and on a level surface. Check that the tray is correctly aligned with the stand's support points.
Surface appears dull or smudged.
Gently wipe with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. If necessary, use a slightly damp cloth, ensuring it is not wet, and dry immediately.
