These simple, attractive leather trays are by South-Korea-based Arte di Mano.

"The structure is maintained by solid stitches on the front side in the up-down direction and the back side in the left and right directions."

"The unique stitching technique, which is completed by perfect hand sewing, is manufactured taking into account not only the wicking factor, but also the direction in which the force is received, the direction in which the leather opens, and the amount of force required."

For a more technical look, they also offer these water-molded leather trays:

"The water molding technique is a traditional technique that utilizes the properties of leather that softens when wet with water and the property that hardens as wet leather dries."

"It has the property of shrinking when dried, so it is usually dried in a mold. Due to these characteristics, it takes approximately 3 to 4 days for complete drying to produce a single product from one mold."

"A completely dried tray is completed by removing unnecessary parts, carving the corners, adding decorative lines, and finishing the cross section neatly."

Both styles are offered in vegetable-tanned Buttero and Pueblo leather from Italy. Prices for either style of tray vary by color and size, within a $45 to $100 range.
