A Bank Tray is a flat-bottomed metal tray traditionally used to hand over cash in banks.

Our 'Bank Tray' is handmade by Japanese Sakami Kogei who creates the tray using a traditional Japanese craft called 'Hera Shibori'. It is a method where a sheet of metal is fixed in a mold and rotated while the sheet is pressed against the mold with a rod called a spatula.

It takes great craftsmanship and experience to know exactly how to angle the spatula and how much force to put in. Finally, the tray is given a brushed finish by a traditional matting process called 'Metsuke'.

'Bank Tray' is made to be used and the brushed surface only gets more beautiful with daily use.

The 'Bank Tray' has a fascinatingly simple and functional beauty and is made for storing and organizing your small things in the home. It can be the keys in the entrance hall, salt and pepper on the dining table, candles and flowers in the living room - and much more...

The tray measures 18.5 cm in diameter and is 2.6 cm high.

Maintenance:

  • Wipe with a dry soft cloth after use and store dry.
  • When the tray is used, the metal will become duller over time due to oxidation. Especially in the areas that are often touched by hands or tools.
  • In Japan, this natural patina is appreciated and the unique texture is called 'Atari'.
  • A Japanese would never polish his metal things, so leave it alone!
