This tray captures the essence of Cornwall’s untamed coastline. The carved interior reflects the gentle ripples left by retreating tides, a homage to the shoreline’s ever-changing rhythms. The deep blue-green milk paint mirrors the interplay of ocean waves and moody skies, while the hand-wrought copper handles, secured with boat nails and peened roves, recall the enduring craftsmanship of Bronze Age treasure.

Crafted from spalted beech sourced from the Lanhydrock Estate, this piece carries the marks of nature’s artistry—woodgrain kissed by time and the elements. Finished with raw flaxseed oil, it is as practical as it is evocative, blending function with a deep connection to Cornwall’s elemental beauty.

Whether used to serve or to display, "Tewyn A’n Halow" is a piece rooted in the treasures of land and sea—a quiet celebration of heritage, history, and craft.
