Arthur Court Grape 14-Inch Round Chip and Dip Tray
This graceful chip and dip tray elevates the level of sophistication at any special occasion. The one-piece, 14-inch-round, hand-crafted tray passes an ample array of toast triangles and bean dip or vegetable crudit&eamp;s with tomato salsa to partygoers. The tray's brilliant luster captures the elegance of antique silver but is actually made of hand-polished aluminum, which is much easier for today's busy hostesses to maintain. The design features bunches of grapes with leaves and vines in bas-relief along the tray's rim and a single vine with leaves winding its way around the dip bowl. The intricately crafted vines form unique carrying handles on either side of the tray. This aluminum serveware is not dishwasher-safe but cleans easily with mild soap and water. Spraying the tray with vegetable oil just before serving will protect the polished finish from dulling or discoloration that can occur when serving highly acidic or salty foods. As Arthur and Elena Court, owners of Arthur Court Designs, are avid conservationists, a percentage of all proceeds of their products go directly to wildlife preservation and environmental research and education projects.--Cristina Vaamonde
