Product Information

Full details

The 101 Copenhagen Enkei Tray in Grey is designed for individuals seeking a blend of functional utility and sculptural artistry in their home decor. Its key benefit lies in its dual purpose: a practical piece for serving or organizing, and a striking decorative object that showcases the unique beauty of natural stone. A potential consideration is that as a handcrafted item from natural silver travertine, each tray will possess unique variations in lines, tones, and gradations, making it a one-of-a-kind piece.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the 'Grey' color consistent across all Enkei Trays?

Due to the use of natural silver travertine, the exact grey tone, lines, and gradations will vary from piece to piece. Each tray possesses a unique coloring and pattern.

Can I put hot dishes directly on the tray?

It is not recommended to place very hot items directly on the stone surface, as extreme temperature changes can potentially affect the material. Using trivets or heat-resistant mats is advisable.

Is the Enkei Tray suitable for outdoor use?

The tray is designed for indoor use. Exposure to harsh weather conditions, direct sunlight for extended periods, and moisture can damage the natural stone and its finish.

How heavy is the medium Enkei Tray?

As it is made from solid stone, the tray has a significant weight, contributing to its stable feel. Specific weight details can be found in the product specifications if available.

Can I use the tray for serving oily or acidic foods?

While the tray can be used for serving, it's best to use barriers like parchment paper or serving platters for very oily or acidic foods to prevent potential staining or etching of the stone surface.

What is the difference between the Enkei Tray and other serving trays?

The Enkei Tray distinguishes itself through its handcrafted solid stone construction, unique natural material variations, and sculptural design, offering an artistic statement piece beyond basic utility.

Troubleshooting

Tray has minor imperfections or color variations

This is characteristic of natural, handcrafted stone. Each Enkei Tray is unique due to the natural material and handmade process. These variations are not defects but part of its unique charm.

Water spots or rings appear on the surface

Wipe the area immediately with a soft, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. For persistent marks, use a specialized stone cleaner for travertine, following product instructions carefully.

Tray feels rough or has a slight unevenness

This is due to the natural texture of the stone. Lightly clean the area with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh abrasives.

Chip or small crack develops

Handle the tray with extra care. For very minor chips, a stone repair kit might be an option, but professional advice is recommended for significant damage to avoid further issues.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Enkei Tray requires no setup. It is ready for use straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: This tray is designed for general home use and is compatible with most surfaces. It is suitable for holding a variety of items, including food and drinks. However, direct contact with highly acidic foods or liquids is not recommended to preserve the stone's finish.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the tray with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can scratch or damage the stone.
  2. Stains: For spills, wipe them up immediately. For tougher stains, a mild, pH-neutral stone cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by rinsing with a damp cloth and thorough drying.
  3. Protection: Use coasters or placemats when serving beverages directly on the tray, especially those that may condense or leave rings. Avoid placing hot items directly on the stone surface.
  4. Handling: Handle with care to avoid dropping or banging it against hard surfaces, which could cause chips or cracks.
