Warm, humble, and full of handmade charm—this vintage square tray was crafted from red terracotta clay and detailed with hand-painted florals in classic Mexican folk style. Cream-colored daisy dots and deep green leaves frame the piece with a cheerful rhythm, softening its square form and grounding it in tradition.
Likely made in a mid-century artisan workshop in Jalisco or Oaxaca, this tray tells a quiet story of everyday beauty—where utility met artistry.
 
Originally used to serve small bites or as a countertop catch-all, it’s just as at home today on a styled bookshelf, holding palo santo, catching keys, or layered with other earthenware for an eclectic mix.
 
This piece works beautifully with rustic neutrals, woven textures, and global accents. One of those just-right additions that makes a space feel layered, collected, and yours.
 
Surface wear and soft patina give it that perfect lived-in look.
