Wilton Armetale Acanthus Tray, Oval, 22-1/2-Inch by 17-Inch

Great Tray

This was a gift to me and I used it for a Roast. I warmed the platter first and it stayed warm a long time. This product reminds me of the Pampered chef stoneware that I love to bake with but this is much prettier than the stoneware and it’s easier to keep clean. I”m trying to add to my collection after receiving 2 items for gifts…

MADE IN CHINA

I have just bought two for wedding gifts. I have owned a similar one for years and have loved it. I opened the box to inspect them before gift wrapping and did not like the way they looked. I brought my own to compare and was blown away by the difference. The new one is much lighter, has less metal in it, the metal looks and feels cheap and the quality of the workmanship is far inferior in the new one. The workmanship is so bad. I would be embarrassed to gift this one. God knows if it is even safe for serving food. The sticker on it says it is made in China. My old one was made in the USA. I looked up the company and found out that the family business that made these gems for over 100 years is sold and none of the products are made in the USA anymore. I am returning both trays and will never by Armetale again.

one epic tray!

I have two of these. They are quite large and heavy- as large as a TV tray. If you drop one better tuck in your toes!

This tray is large enough to hold the biggest turkey and all its garnishes and you can still see the elegant pattern around the edges. I’ve put these in the oven to make nachos and I’ve baked biscuits on them. Being a very large piece it stays hot for a very long time -long enough to burn your fingers after the nachos are gone.

A tea set looks very fine on this tray and it’s deep enough to contain the biggest spill. If you are fortunate enough to locate an Armetale tea set the only thing lacking would be the butler.

This piece is so beautiful that if you have a buffet or sideboard you’ll want to display it on a stand when you’re not using it.

The nice thing about Armetale is you can mix the classic styles in your collection or if you prefer contemporary, there are a number of styles to mix and match as well.
