Crystalline Heart Tray

Add a touch of artisanal elegance to your home with the Crystalline Heart Tray, a handcrafted masterpiece that blends the raw beauty of ceramic art with the luxury of precious metals.

Elevate Your Decor with a Bloom of Precious Metal

A glaze of precious metal blooms across the heart-shaped surface, creating a piece that feels elegant and meaningful. At robert kline art, we celebrate items that tell a story of craftsmanship and individuality. Soft light catches along the surface of this handcrafted heart, revealing delicate crystal formations and a precious metal glaze that seem to bloom from within. Because the reactive crystal glaze transforms naturally in the kiln, no two trays are ever exactly alike, ensuring that your piece is a one-of-a-kind treasure.

About the Maker

Artist Michael Wainwright creates these stunning pieces in his Berkshire Hills studio in Massachusetts. Known for his mastery of textures and metallic finishes, Michael shapes each heart by hand, allowing the unpredictable nature of the firing process to dictate the final, unique crystal patterns. His work is a testament to the harmony between human touch and the transformative power of the kiln.

How to Use the Crystalline Heart Tray

The beauty of this tray lies in its multi-functional design. Its food-safe surface makes it an exquisite choice for serving small appetizers or desserts at your next gathering. Beyond the kitchen, it serves as an elegant ring dish on a vanity or a sophisticated catchall for keys and small treasures on an entryway table. Because the surface is safe to cut on, it can even function as a small, artistic trivet or serving board. To maintain the luster of the 24k gold or platinum detailing, always hand wash the tray and avoid using it in the microwave.
