Usuzumi Round Tray - Oak

I am an Usuzumi Round Oak Tray. It doesn't take an all-seeing eye to know how much work went into my creation. It'll take just one meal for you to observe my glory.   Curator's Notes  With a low profile and rimmed edge, this tray is perfect for serving. The warmth you can sense from the manner in which Ryuji Mitani lacquered the piece, with painterly circular strokes, provides a mesmerizing backdrop for a variety of foods.    Usuzumi Round Oak Tray was curated by Stevenson Aung   Designer/Maker    Maker: Ryuji Mitani   Designer: Ryuji Mitani   Specifications Dimensions: 11” (w) x 0.7" (h) or 27cm (d) x 18cm (h)   Weight: 12.6 oz or 355 g   Materials: Oak wood, Food-safe lacquer   Details Handcrafted in Matsumoto, Japan Features Ryuji Mitani's signature on the bottom of the tray Bottom of tray is black Do not soak urushi lacquered pieces in water for prolonged periods Wash with a soft sponge and mild dish soap.
