"Serene Union" Rosewood Inlay Tray

Some objects carry meaning beyond their function. The "Serene Union" Rosewood Inlay Tray is one of them — a 36cm solid rosewood board inlaid with hand-carved iridescent shells, depicting a pair of mandarin ducks among aquatic flora.

In Chinese tradition, mandarin ducks symbolise fidelity, harmony, and lifelong partnership, making this tray as meaningful as it is beautiful. Its generous surface provides a refined stage for a full Kung Fu tea set — teapot, fairness cup, and tasting bowls — while the rich wood grain and shimmering shell details transform any tea table into a quiet work of art.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is it made of?

The tray is made from 100% premium solid rosewood with a genuine iridescent shell inlay, hand-carved with a mandarin duck and aquatic flora motif. No two pieces are exactly alike due to the natural variation in wood grain and shell.

What do the mandarin ducks symbolise?

In Chinese tradition, mandarin ducks are a symbol of fidelity, harmony, and lifelong partnership — making this tray a deeply meaningful gift for weddings, anniversaries, or any celebration of love and togetherness.

How big is it?
