Most popular during the Ottoman empire in Turkey, the traditional Turkish serving tray can be described as an innovative product ahead of its time.
These serving trays are traditional to the Turkish culture and most often associated with serving mainly tea and coffee however, they are also widely used to serve food.
The tray is designed in a tripodal fashion to enable ease of use whilst carrying items on it. It uses centripetal force which helps to reduce the chance of spilling any food and drink being carried.
The trays are made from metals, often stainless steel and copper, and are mostly circular in shape. Some of the trays are luxurious in style as they are often used as ornaments for the home. It is known that the Turkish tray can double up as a decorative feature as the hook allows it to be hung and used for other items such as displaying candles.
