The Lemon Grove Giraffe — Hand-Painted Stoneware Tray

Sunshine, bottled — or rather, glazed. Crisp lemon-yellow stripes run the length of this rectangular tray, interrupted only by a cheeky red giraffe stretching for the leaves of a palm tree. It's the sort of piece that makes you smile every time you reach for it.

Each tray is handcrafted by skilled artisans, the stripes and giraffe painted by hand beneath a smooth, food-safe glaze, so the design is sealed in and made to last. The softly rounded rim and gently speckled cream stoneware give it a warm, tactile character — and because every tray is painted individually, no two giraffes ever stand quite alike.

Its long, slim shape earns its keep everywhere: a serving tray for olives, nuts and nibbles, a catch-all for keys and jewellery in the hallway, a home for candles and matches on the coffee table, or a tidy perch for soaps by the basin. It pairs beautifully with our Marigold Elephant plate for a table that feels collected rather than bought.
