Black with Blue Center Tray 12″ x 7″

This fused glass tray presents a striking contrast of colors and textures, creating a piece that is both modern and elegant. The tray’s primary color is a deep, opaque black that provides a sophisticated backdrop. Within this dark expanse lies a single, vertical inset of vivid blue glass, which draws the eye and acts as the visual centerpiece. The blue glass is marbled with swirling shades of lighter blue and white, reminiscent of cascading water or the rich variegation found in precious stones. This splash of color creates an illusion of depth and movement, adding a dynamic element to the tray’s design.

The tray itself is rectangular with softened edges and subtle contours that lend a gentle, organic feel to its geometric form. The black portion of the tray is speckled with tiny, star-like flecks that catch the light, suggesting a night sky or a distant galaxy. The blue inset is smooth and glossy, contrasting with the muted sheen of the black surround. This piece is not only functional as a serving tray but also serves as a decorative statement, with its bold color play and artful composition making it an eye-catching addition to any table or display.
