Marialyce I gave this as a wedding gift (along with something from their registry). The young couple absolutely love this reverse-painted glass tray. The colors are more vibrant in person. It's beautiful. The kids liked it so much they asked me for more history and info about it, so I printed up the artist's story and a history of reverse-glass-painting. These trays are very useful also...and very sturdy... I use mine all the time!!
