Oblong Glass Tray – Silk Screen Printed, 28 Inch Decorative Tray

Twenty-eight inches is a long tray by any measure, long enough to run most of a coffee table or the full depth of a kitchen island, and that length is the reason to choose this shape over a round one. There is only one size, which simplifies the decision considerably: it either fits the surface or it does not, so measure first.

The pattern is silk-screened, laid down through a stencil onto the glass rather than printed beneath it or applied as a film. On a piece this long the method matters, because a screen has to register evenly across the entire span and any drift shows up immediately as a wandering edge along a straight line. Glass carries the process well, since the surface is perfectly flat and gives the screen nothing to catch on.

On a coffee table it holds books, a candle and a remote in a single line. On a console it does the same job in an entryway. Along a bar it corrals bottles without needing a rail.
