This oval mixed material serving tray offers a distinct aesthetic for wholesale buyers seeking artisanal kitchenware. The design centers on a flat base with a radial inlay pattern, resembling leaf or shell fragments arranged in a sunburst shape. A thick braided fiber rim surrounds the base, rising into a series of decorative loops that form a scalloped edge. These loops are made of smaller braided strands, providing a textured grip and a unique silhouette. The natural straw and cream tones make it suitable for various interior styles, from coastal to modern farmhouse.
Material Composition and Handcrafted Details
The construction combines natural plant fibers with decorative inlay materials. The rim is built from thick braids of dried fiber, likely water hyacinth or seagrass, which are shaped into consistent loops. This braided structure is secured to the base to ensure the tray remains flat and stable during use. The base itself is a solid panel decorated with a symmetric inlay that creates a smooth surface for carrying items. Every piece is sun-dried and heat-dried thoroughly to prevent mold before it enters our storage area. We recommend keeping these trays in a dry environment and drying them fully if they ever come into contact with moisture.

Meet Our Artisans
Meko Craft employs over 50 master weavers, many of whom have been with us for more than a decade. For larger orders we also work with partner weavers in Vietnamese craft villages, up to 1,000 weavers in total. Each artisan specializes in a specific fiber and weaving pattern, ensuring consistency and craftsmanship that machine-made imports simply cannot replicate. We pay fair wages, and our factory can meet BSCI or SA8000 audit requirements on request.
Export Quality Control and Logistics
Quality control is handled in three stages: IQC for materials, PQC during weaving, and a final 7-point check before packing. We ship products in 5-layer corrugated export cartons to protect the delicate scalloped rims during transit. Meko Craft provides all necessary export documentation, including fumigation and phytosanitary certificates. TÜV SÜD test reports for food-contact safety and heavy metal limits are available on request to ensure compliance with international market regulations. Shipping terms and ports are confirmed per contract.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best way to clean the inlay base?
Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or crumbs and dry it immediately. Do not soak the tray or use abrasive cleaners that might damage the inlay or the fiber rim.
Can the inlay pattern be customized for large orders?
Yes, we can adjust the inlay design or the materials used for the base pattern based on your specifications. This is typically discussed and confirmed during the sampling stage.
Are these trays stackable for shipping?
Due to the decorative scalloped rim, these trays do not nest deeply, but they can be stacked with protective layers in between. We pack them in 5-layer export cartons to prevent crushing.
What export certificates do you provide for this product?
We provide standard fumigation and phytosanitary certificates for every shipment. Food safety test reports from TÜV SÜD are also available upon request.
