In reverse glass painting, the design is silk screened onto the reverse side of the glass. The painting is done “back to front”: details painted first, then larger color areas, and finally a background color. This technique dates back to the middle ages and requires great care and skill, as the visual “surface” is painted first then layered over, so errors cannot be corrected.
Due to the handcrafted nature of our products, slight variations enhance authenticity.

Nice large size--bigger than I thought it would be. This is a BEAUTIFUL tray! LOVE IT!! It is also surprisingly heavy--a nice heft to it.
Beautifully decorated and very sturdy.
This tray is so pretty! It was especially perfect for Christmas this year as it has a "holly and ivy" look and coloring. However, the back is opaque, so light does not shine through like stained glass (just in case you're like me and thought it did from the site pics).

I love these trays, this makes #2 for me. They are versatile and I use one on each of my dining tables. Love the delicate work but trays are sturdy.
