John Derian - Cypress Hope - Rectangular Tray

To keep the tray in top condition, simply wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid immersing it in water or using harsh cleaning chemicals, as this can damage the paper collage and glass seal.

The tray is designed primarily as a decorative accent or a vessel for serving items like drinks or small snacks. Because the surface is paper sealed under glass, it is best used with coasters or napkins rather than placing food directly on the surface.

Yes, its 6 x 9-inch size makes it an excellent choice for organizing jewelry, perfumes, or office supplies. The flat rim and glossy finish provide a stable, elegant surface for displaying small everyday items.

Each tray is handmade to order in New York City using collaged paper, so slight variations in the placement of the artwork are expected. These subtle differences are part of the charm and bespoke nature of John Derian’s work.

The tray features a flat, smooth design without handles or a specialized non-slip base. It is intended to sit securely on flat surfaces like coffee tables, consoles, or desks.
