Who says functional can’t also be fabulous? Our Hand-Painted Wooden Decorative Tray/Plate from Odisha is here to prove that a tray can do more than carry snacks—it can carry heritage, charm, and serious artistic credibility.
Crafted from natural wood and lovingly hand-painted by skilled artisans, this piece showcases the folk-inspired brushwork Odisha is famed for—vibrant, intricate, and done completely freehand (yes, by real people, not printers). Each tray takes its sweet time to come to life, which is probably why it looks like it belongs in a gallery as much as your home.
Use it as a decorative centrepiece, a fruit platter, or simply as a stylish stage for your keys, candles, or that lone mango you’re pretending not to forget. It brings a pop of culture to your coffee table, dining setup, or wall (because yes, it doubles as wall art too—talk about multitasking!).
And because it’s handmade using traditional techniques passed down through generations, every plate is one-of-a-kind, complete with the charming quirks and soulful details you just don’t get from factory-made décor.
Whether you’re curating a boho corner, gifting with intention, or just want your fruit to rest on something more elegant than your countertop, this handcrafted wooden tray adds warmth, artistry, and a pinch of playful elegance to your space.
Let your décor do the storytelling—this tray is ready for its role.

STORY BEHIND THIS CRAFT
The hand-painted wooden plate or tray you see today has roots far deeper than modern décor trends. In Odisha, painting isn’t just an artistic expression—it’s a way of honouring tradition, storytelling, and everyday rituals. These trays are the contemporary canvas for one of India’s most revered folk art legacies, lovingly adapted for modern homes.
Traditionally, wooden or leaf plates were used in temples and during festivals to offer food to deities—often beautifully decorated to reflect the sacredness of the moment. Over time, artisans in regions like Raghurajpur, a heritage crafts village in Odisha, began using natural wood surfaces as a durable and versatile base for their detailed, hand-painted designs. The motifs are often inspired by nature, mythology, village life, or tribal symbolism—each brushstroke echoing generations of cultural memory.
Today, these decorative trays are part of a growing movement that reimagines folk art for everyday use—bringing centuries-old craftsmanship into living rooms, kitchens, and curated corners around the world. They not only showcase artistic heritage but also support the livelihoods of artisan families who continue to preserve and innovate within this traditional craft.
When you bring home one of these trays, you're not just adding a decorative accent—you’re carrying forward a living tradition, handmade with pride, patience, and purpose.
