Salisbury Masthead Tray

Cast aluminum is highly durable and resistant to tarnishing, making it much lower maintenance than silver or plated metals. While it can develop minor surface scratches over time with heavy use, the polished finish is designed to withstand daily serving and display.

Yes, cast aluminum is heat-conductive and safe for serving warm appetizers or dishes. However, be mindful that the tray itself will retain heat, so it is best to place it on a heat-safe surface after serving.

The rope detailing is part of the cast mold, so it does not require special cleaning tools. Simply wipe the tray down with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap, then dry immediately with a soft towel to maintain the polished luster.

At 15 inches, this tray is quite generous in size. It comfortably holds several standard dinner plates, a large arrangement of appetizers, or a full set of drink glasses, making it a functional centerpiece rather than just a decorative accent.

The tray features a flat base design. If you are placing it on a delicate surface like a glass coffee table or polished wood, you may want to add small felt pads to the bottom to prevent sliding or scratching.
