Description
This round tinplate serving tray brings a taste of Italian aperitivo hour to the table, with a bright illustration of a spritz filling its base. A tall glass of orange spritz with ice cubes, a slice of orange and a teal and white striped straw stands on a pink checked cloth, beside two whole oranges with their leaves and a cut half. The words Italian Aperitivo Spritz arc across the top in green on a soft pink ground, and the recipe sits next to the glass: 75ml Prosecco, 50ml Orange Aperitivo, 25ml Soda and 1 Slice of Orange. The rim is striped in orange-red and pink, with the name repeated in white around the outside. It measures 33cm across and 4cm deep, and inside it is approximately 31cm across and 3.8cm deep.
We reach for a tray like this whenever a round of drinks has to travel from the kitchen to the table. The raised rim gives glasses and small bowls a wall to sit against as you carry them, and the wide base leaves plenty of room. Between rounds it looks just as good set on a sideboard, a drinks trolley or a kitchen dresser, propped upright so the illustration shows like a print. It suits anyone who loves a spritz.
The tray is made from tinplate, a light metal that keeps it easy to handle at 0.264KG, and the print runs across the base and around the rim. To keep the colours bright, wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it straight away, and skip scouring pads that could scratch the surface. For a cheerful gift, we would set a bottle of Prosecco and two glasses on it and tie the lot with a ribbon.
