Ceramic French Dinnerware

A perfect piece for casual entertaining, our caddy combines a rustic handwoven tray with three matching square baskets. Inside each basket is a removable porcelain insert for serving condiments, dips, sauces, olives or nuts. Woven by village artisans in the Philippines, the tray and baskets are made from the stems of nito fern. They are then coated with clear lacquer so they easily wipe clean. The porcelain inserts are microwavable and oven- and dishwasher-safe.
