Textured like a woven basket, this serving tray captivates with its lustrous surfaces. The art of pewter originates in Belgium, but Mexican artisans have developed similar designs exploiting aluminum's beauty and strength. Once the liquid alloy is poured into a mold of compacted sand it hardens in 5 or 10 minutes, before being filed and polished to remove imperfections. A distinctive accent for both formal and casual parties. As each piece is crafted individually, there may be slight variations in the final design. This handcrafted product may present miniscule pores that are imprinted from the sand molds used by Martinez.
