ACORN TRAY / PLATTER

The Acorn Handy Tray is a handcrafted mango wood platter that brings together traditional Indian woodcraft and contemporary table aesthetics in one elegant, elongated form. Measuring 17 inches in length and just 5 inches wide, this slim wooden serving platter is thoughtfully sized for everything from a curated cheese and charcuterie spread to a row of appetisers at your next dinner party. The striking blue enamel print is sealed under a food-grade lacquer finish, giving it a richness of colour that stays vivid wash after wash while remaining completely safe for food contact. Crafted from seasoned mango wood — one of India's most sustainably harvested hardwoods — each tray carries the subtle grain character and warmth that only natural wood can offer. Whether you're searching for a wooden serving tray for Indian snacks, a stylish bread and dip platter for your dining table, or a handcrafted wooden gift for a housewarming, the Acorn Handy Tray is a piece that earns its place at the table every single day. Its low-profile 0.75-inch height makes it easy to carry, pass around, and store — practical elegance that doesn't ask for much in return.

The Acorn Handy Tray is made by skilled Indian artisans who have spent years working with seasoned mango wood, a material prized for its density, durability, and warm natural grain. The process begins with carefully dried and seasoned mango wood blanks that are shaped and smoothed by hand before the distinctive blue enamel print is applied using a detailed surface printing technique. Once the design is set, a food-grade lacquer is layered over the print to protect both the artwork and the wood beneath, ensuring the colour remains vivid and the surface remains hygienic for food use. Every tray that leaves a SAAGA artisan's workshop carries with it the quiet pride of handwork — small variations in grain and tone that remind you this was made by a person, not a machine.

To keep your Acorn Handy Tray looking its best, wipe it clean with a damp cloth after each use and dry it immediately with a soft towel. Do not soak the tray in water, put it in a dishwasher, or use it in a microwave. Prolonged exposure to moisture can cause the wood to warp and may affect the enamel print over time. For wooden serveware like this, occasional light oiling of any unprinted wooden edges with food-safe mineral oil will help maintain the wood's natural resilience. Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve both the wood and the vibrancy of the blue enamel finish.
