Product Information
Full details
This black slate serving tray from The Just Slate Company is designed for individuals who want to elegantly present appetizers, desserts, cheeses, or drinks. Its key benefit is the striking contrast between the natural slate and the stainless steel cow horn handles, enhanced by a charming highland cow engraving, making it a functional centerpiece and a conversation starter. A slight caveat is its specific cleaning instructions to maintain the slate's natural beauty. The tray is hand-cut in Scotland from high-quality slate, offering durability and a contemporary aesthetic.

Troubleshooting
Tray has white marks or appears faded.
These marks are often water spots. Ensure the tray is thoroughly dried after cleaning. For faded appearance, consider applying a thin layer of food-safe mineral oil to restore its natural luster.
Engraving seems dull.
The engraving might be obscured by residue. Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive scrubbing which can damage the engraving.
Handles feel loose.
Check if the screws attaching the handles are tightened. If they are not, carefully tighten them using an appropriate screwdriver. Do not overtighten.
Slight chipping on edges.
Slate is a natural material and can be prone to chipping if dropped or handled roughly. Minor chips are cosmetic and do not affect functionality. Handle with care to prevent further damage.
