Dead Guy Trays

Description

This is a set of Dead Guy trays. As with all my trivets and trays, they are hand painted tiles on hand crafted wooden trays. The wood is a honey pine finish with a light coat of Varathane. The tiles are 4" porcelain field tiles on which I have painted the designs. The paints used are fine china paints, applied by hand to the tiles, the tiles are fired in a kiln to temperatures approximating 1400 degrees F. This firing fuses the china paint to the glaze on the porcelain tile. The paint is applied in layers and fired after each layer. These particular designs required four firings.

The serving area of each tray is a bit larger than 21" x 13".

I need your help here - I am accumulating way too large an inventory day of the dead inspired stuff and I need to get some of it out so that I can make things inspired by more recent creative juices. For this reason I will consider splitting up the set as long as both trays are going to good homes.

Domestic shipping costs will be about $30.00 for the set - about $25.00 for a single. Contact me for international shipping costs.
