Wooden Tray in German Style Made of Ash with Original Artwork

Description

If you are a connoisseur—or at least someone interested in German history and culture—this item will certainly catch your attention. The tray features important symbols of the German ethnos and epic tradition, depicted through artwork within a specific historical and cultural context, namely:

• Oak leaves and acorns, representing the connection between the pagan past of German lands and the distinguished legacy of the last several centuries. Oak is frequently used in German heraldry, including military symbols;
• The blue cornflower, which in a certain sense symbolizes the unity of the German people and individuals sharing particular views on the world and history;
• A sack of grain, symbolizing abundance and fertility of German lands, as well as a connection to German beer culture;
• A wagon wheel, referring to the vast German landscapes across which, day after day, hundreds of thousands of people, goods, and various means of transportation have moved—and continue to move.

The tray itself is made of ash wood. Ash is a hardwood species typical of temperate climates and is also native to Germany. The artwork is done with acrylic paints, and the tray exists as a one-of-a-kind piece, like all products in our store. The woodworking piece is finished with a clear water-based varnish to preserve the natural texture and color of the ash, exactly as nature intended.

This tray is convenient for serving breakfast, lunch, or dinner to a couch or armchair. Based on personal experience using a similar tray, it is also very practical for carrying pizza, as well as plates with sliced sausages and cheeses.
