Ink-blue passages sit beside washed-out gray ones, separated by hairline seams of white quartz, and the whole pattern is abstract because it was formed by mineral-rich water rather than drawn by anyone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePolished flat, the stone stays cool to the touch and reflects a little of the room. Thin sections at the perimeter go semi-translucent and pick up whatever light falls across the table, so the outer inch of the plate often looks brighter than the center.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow It’s Made\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stone is cut to a rectangle, the shape that carries a course down the middle of a table. Its edge is electroformed, which grows real metal onto the agate until the rim has thickness of its own and is permanently bonded, rather than a leaf or coating that can rub off. The handles are solid brass, made as an open leaf or a laurel arch, and finished with the rim in silver, rose gold or gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: natural blue agate stone plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 9\" x 14\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: electroformed silver, rose gold or gold on the tray and the handles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandles: solid brass, in an open leaf or laurel arch style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFood use: serve with a liner, board or servingware rather than putting food straight onto the stone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach rectangle is cut from its own piece of agate, so the run of the banding and the strength of the blue change from tray to tray.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Gift For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA wedding or engagement gift for a couple setting up a table, and an easy housewarming present because blue sits well against wood, marble and white china alike. It is also a good host or hostess gift to bring to a dinner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUse and Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe a cheese or fruit course from it, or use it to carry drinks, with a liner or servingware between the food and the stone. Wipe with a soft, damp cloth, dry the brass right after, and do not soak the tray or scrub the electroformed edge.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Tangerine Store","offers":[{"title":"Open Leaf \/ Gold","offer_id":57472028803452,"sku":"TTS-TRY-BLU-RECT-OL-NP-GLD","price":95.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Open Leaf \/ Silver","offer_id":57472029884796,"sku":"TTS-TRY-BLU-RECT-OL-NP-SLVR","price":95.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Open Leaf \/ Rose Gold","offer_id":57472029917564,"sku":"TTS-TRY-BLU-RECT-OL-NP-ROSG","price":95.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Laurel Arch \/ Gold","offer_id":57472029950332,"sku":"TTS-TRY-BLU-RECT-LA-NP-GLD","price":95.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Laurel Arch \/ Silver","offer_id":57472029983100,"sku":"TTS-TRY-BLU-RECT-LA-NP-SLVR","price":95.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Laurel Arch \/ Rose Gold","offer_id":57472030015868,"sku":"TTS-TRY-BLU-RECT-LA-NP-ROSG","price":95.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/1124\/6204\/files\/1_3925d651-cade-42d7-a60a-9c67174f2be0.jpg?v=1789860014","url":"https:\/\/velorahomedecor.com\/products\/blue-agate-rectangular-serving-tray","provider":"Velora Home","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
