Mud Pie Woven Oyster Shell Tray

While the oyster shells are securely attached to the woven base, they are natural materials and should be handled with reasonable care. They are durable enough for regular use as a centerpiece or serving tray, but avoid dropping the tray or stacking heavy items directly on the shell edges.

Because the surface is textured with natural shells and woven fibers, it is best to use a liner, such as a cloth napkin or parchment paper, if you are serving food directly on the tray. This makes cleanup easier and protects the natural materials from spills or crumbs.

To clean, simply wipe the woven areas with a soft, dry cloth or use a gentle brush to remove dust from the crevices of the shells. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or submerging the tray in water, as moisture can damage the natural seagrass and water hyacinth fibers.

Yes, the integrated side handles are designed for functionality and are sturdy enough to carry standard loads like appetizers or a few drinks. However, because of the tray's size and the nature of the woven construction, it is best to support the bottom of the tray when carrying heavier items.

Since this tray is crafted from natural materials like water hyacinth and seagrass, slight variations in color and texture are expected. Each piece is unique, so the shade of brown may differ slightly from what you see online, which is part of its organic appeal.
