FAQs
What type of stone is the 'Enkei' tray made from?
The tray is handcrafted from silver travertine, a natural stone known for its unique patterns and tones.
Is each tray identical?
No, each 'Enkei' tray is unique. The natural variations in the travertine stone mean that the lines, tones, and gradation of each piece will differ.
Can I use this tray for serving food directly?
While it can be used for serving, it's recommended to place food items on separate platters or use liners to protect the stone surface from direct contact with acidic foods or excessive moisture.
How heavy is the tray?
Being made of natural stone, the tray has a substantial weight. Specific weight varies slightly by piece but expect it to be a solid, heavy item.
What is the best way to clean minor scratches?
Light scratches can sometimes be buffed out with a very fine-grit polishing pad specifically designed for stone, or by using a specialized stone polishing compound. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
Does the color vary significantly between trays?
Yes, the silver travertine can have variations in its grey tones, ranging from lighter to darker shades, and may include subtle veining or fossil inclusions, making each piece distinct.
Can I place hot items on the tray?
It is not recommended to place very hot items directly on the tray, as extreme temperature changes can potentially affect the stone or its finish. Use coasters or trivets for hot dishes.
Troubleshooting
Uneven surface or slight wobble
This is often a characteristic of natural stone. If significant, try placing a small felt pad on the underside of the tray.
Surface appears dull
The polished finish may require re-application of a stone polish suitable for travertine. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before applying.
Stain on the surface
Blot spills immediately. For dried stains, use a specialized stone cleaner for travertine and test in an inconspicuous area first. Always rinse and dry thoroughly.
Chip on the edge
Minor chips can sometimes be repaired with stone epoxy fillers. For significant damage, consult a stone restoration specialist.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The 'Enkei' tray requires no assembly. It is ready to use straight out of the packaging.
Compatibility: This tray is designed for decorative and light functional use. It is compatible with various surfaces, but care should be taken to prevent scratching delicate furniture. Avoid placing it directly on unsealed wood or highly polished surfaces without protection.
Care: To maintain the tray's beauty:
- Cleaning: Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the polished surface and natural stone.
- Stains: For fresh spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For stubborn stains, a mild, pH-neutral stone cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by rinsing with a damp cloth and drying thoroughly.
- Protection: Avoid placing hot items directly on the surface. Use coasters or trivets if necessary. While durable, the stone can be porous; avoid prolonged contact with liquids, especially colored ones.
- Handling: Lift the tray rather than dragging it to prevent damage to the tray and your surfaces.
