This tray brings together hand-painted ceramic and olive wood, shaped through different hands and processes, coming together into a piece that feels both practical and considered.
The tiles are hand-painted in Al-Khalil (Hebron), where ceramic work continues as a small, skilled practice, with patterns applied carefully by hand. Each tile carries slight variations in line and finish, reflecting the human rhythm behind the making.
They are set into an olive wood frame, sourced from the West Bank, with a chipboard backing to give structure and support. The contrast between the painted surface and the warmth of the wood gives the piece a natural balance, something that feels easy to place within the home.
It sits easily on a table, whether used for serving, holding everyday objects, or simply left out as part of the space. Smaller in size, it works well for more intimate settings or for layering alongside other pieces.
Subtle crazing within the glaze is part of the character of the tiles, a result of traditional processes that do not affect the durability or use of the tray.
