However, a recent jaunt to a charity shop near me, found me purchasing a glass tray from one of these sets, for just £1.50, because it was all one its lonesome, without its candlestick and powder jar friends. As soon as I saw it, I knew what I'd use it for - I'd been using a little wooden tray next to our cooker, to stand the greasy olive oil bottle on, plus our salt & pepper grinders, which leave a trail of salt and pepper wherever they go. But the tray was getting a little icky, but a glass tray - well, that would be the perfect, very wipeable solution. Sold. Got it home, set it up, and I am feeling pretty smug with my arrangery.

My research has informed me that this type of glassware is called "Depression Glass". It was made during the Depression, and is characterised by its art-deco pattern and the heaviness of the glass.
Available in all good charity shops.
Amazing. My Nanna used to have one exactly like that with her creams in. Fond memories, good spot.
