"Beautiful"
This tray is really beautiful. I am very happy with it, but I would caution buyers that the finish is not smooth and glossy, as I thought it would be. It?s more of a porous, Terra cotta feel. I say this because, in spite of its description as suitable for food, microwave safe and dishwasher safe, I can?t imagine doing any of those things. I suspect my daughter will use it more for a catch all tray on her bureau. It?s truly lovely.

"Not finished, no glaze"
This appears to be air dry clay. It is not food safe! Its porous. If you want a tray for hair ribbons or the like it should work out well. I was hoping to use it as serving dish for olives, cheeses, etc. its not glazed. The art work is as shown however its not described as non functional art work. If it had hanging loops as part of the design it would be a great piece to hang.

"Excellent shipping and packaging"
Very pretty dish. Nice details and substantial weight. It?s a little deeper than I thought it would be, but I like it. It arrived quickly and was very well packaged - no chips or cracks.

"Festive tequila decanter"
I love this festive tequila decanter as it is so pretty. So many people have commented on how unusual it is. The colors are so bold and the artwork is so precisely placed. I was so amazed when I opened the package as ti is so much prettier than the picture online!! I have a family member I want to give one as a gift.

"Decorative Delight"
This beautiful colorful ceremic vase hits the mark on the kitchen table. It has been used for flower arrangements, holiday pieces and plants. The art work is very detailed and makes the area attractive while eating at the table. I have received many compliments from visitors and they always ask where they can get one for themselves.
