This beautiful, 16-inch, round serving platter is striking enough to serve canapes at a wedding, cold asparagus in vinaigrette at a formal luncheon, or fresh prosciutto-wrapped figs at a holiday dinner. The tray's brilliant luster captures the elegance of antique silver but is actually made of hand-polished aluminum, which is much easier for today's busy hostesses to maintain. The design features bunches of grapes with leaves and vines in bas-relief winding around the outer edge of the tray. The intricately crafted vines form unique carrying handles on four sides of the tray. Slightly curved edges keep appetizers from sliding off and four feet keep the platter planted firmly on a buffet table. This aluminum serveware is not dishwasher-safe but cleans easily with mild soap and water. Lining the tray with glass or spraying it with vegetable oil just before serving will protect the polished finish from dulling or discoloration that can occur when serving highly acidic or salty foods. As Arthur and Elena Court, owners of Arthur Court Designs, are avid conservationists, a percentage of all proceeds of their products go directly to wildlife preservation and environmental research and education projects.
