Michael Aram Olive Branch Serving Tray

While the tray is crafted from durable stainless steel, it is primarily designed as a decorative serving piece. It is best used for serving room-temperature appetizers, cocktails, or pre-plated items rather than hot dishes straight from the oven.

To preserve the finish, hand wash the tray with mild soap and water, then dry it immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or steel wool, as these can scratch the natural brass and enamel surfaces.

Yes, the integrated handles are designed to be functional and secure. However, because the tray is handcrafted and features delicate sculptural details, we recommend using both hands to support the base when carrying heavier loads.

Natural brass will develop a rich patina over time when exposed to air and moisture, which is a characteristic of the material. If you prefer to keep it bright, you can use a high-quality brass polish, being careful to avoid the black enamel sections.

Absolutely. Its sculptural design makes it an excellent centerpiece even when not in use. It works well holding decorative objects, candles, or seasonal fruit.
