FAQs

What are the dimensions of the large tray?

The tray is large and square, providing substantial surface area for use as a table or for serving.

Is the tray designed for outdoor use?

No, this is an indoor decorative item. Exposure to weather and moisture can damage the materials and artwork.

Can I purchase a replacement stand?

Replacement stands may be available through authorized Fornasetti retailers. Please contact customer support for specific inquiries.

How should I store the tray when not in use?

Store the tray flat in a safe place, away from direct sunlight and potential damage. The stand can be folded and stored separately.

Is the 'Ortensia' design always the same on every tray?

While the motif is consistent, each tray is hand-silkscreened and lacquered, meaning there will be subtle, unique variations in the application of paint and color, making each piece one-of-a-kind.

What is the primary material of the tray?

The tray is constructed from wood, with hand-silkscreened, painted, and lacquered finishes.

Troubleshooting

Tray seems unstable on the stand

Ensure the foldable stand is fully opened and locked into position. Verify that the tray is correctly seated on the stand's supports.

Slight imperfections on the surface

This is normal due to the handmade nature of the product. Each piece is unique, and minor variations are part of its artisanal charm.

Color appears to be fading

Keep the tray away from prolonged direct sunlight, as UV rays can affect the vibrancy of the colors over time.

Surface has a smudge or minor mark

Gently wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Ensure the cloth is not abrasive and dry immediately with a separate soft cloth.
