Nice looking coffee table dish for mixed snacks?
October 21, 2019 2:04 PM Subscribe
We nosh while watching TV, and the (large) coffee table is usually full of plastic containers and a few bags. (Think watermelon seeds, and their unsightly shells, dried apricots, nuts, etc.) I'd like to find an attractive sectioned snack tray, possibly with lids for each section, but not having much luck.
Something sleek like wood, or pretty like minakari. Assume maybe a cup or so of volume for each snack. Double bonus if individual bowls lift out for cleaning without disturbing the whole array.
I have this little mise set, which would be fine except each dish holds only maybe a quarter-cup. (And I'd like lids ideally.) Any ideas where I could find something? (I'm already haunting thrift and antique stores.) Thanks!

The serveware category at Uncommon Goods might have something suitable.

This flower petal snack holder is tidy and self-covering, but plastic and not my idea of beautiful, at least.

I just saw a cute see tray on Zulily. Note that i think they don't have a stable inventory so if you might be interested you should go ahead and check it out. The item is called Black Nine Compartment Serving Tray by the brand Mind Reader.
