FAQs
Is the tray truly unique?
Yes, due to the handmade production process involving hand-silkscreening and painting, each Fornasetti tray is wholly unique and may feature slight variations from others.
What are the dimensions of the small tray?
The product description specifies a 'small, oblong' design. Exact dimensions would typically be found in the product's detailed specifications section, usually around 12.6 x 7.5 inches (32 x 19 cm).
How do I assemble the coffee table function?
The tray comes with a foldable stand. Simply unfold the stand, ensure it is stable, and place the tray on top.
What material is the tray made from?
The tray is made of wood and features a hand-silkscreened, painted, and lacquered finish.
Can I use this tray for serving food?
While it is a functional tray, it is primarily designed as a decorative art object. For serving food, it is recommended to use a protective barrier or to use it for dry goods only. It is best suited for decorative purposes or very light serving.
What is the 'Ortensia' design?
The 'Ortensia' design, featured on this tray, is characterized by the iconic glance of Lina Cavalieri updated with a series of multicolored blooms, all created through Fornasetti's signature hand-decoration techniques.
How should I clean the tray?
Clean the tray with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners and do not immerse it in water.
Troubleshooting
Tray does not sit securely on the stand.
Ensure the stand is fully unfolded and locked into position. Check that the tray is centered correctly on the stand's supports.
Colors appear to be fading.
This can occur with prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Move the tray away from direct sunlight and avoid placing it in a window with intense sun exposure.

Gently try to buff the area with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For more persistent marks, use a very slightly damp cloth with a tiny amount of mild soap, then wipe dry immediately. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
