Octagonal Enamel Tray - Werner's Nomenclature of Colours
Roomytown
Bring colour and character into your home with this enamel serving tray, featuring a beautifully adapted design from Werner’s Nomenclature of Colours. Originally used by explorers and naturalists—including Charles Darwin—to classify colours found in the natural world, this historic chart adds a sense of curiosity and wonder to any setting.
Roomytown’s design team in Bath, UK, curated this piece using an 1821 adaptation by Patrick Syme, showcasing a palette that bridges science, art, and nature. The result is both practical and decorative—a food-safe, uniquely shaped tray that’s perfect for serving drinks, styling a coffee table, or enjoying as a piece of functional art.
Handcrafted by skilled artisans in India, each tray features subtle variations that celebrate the charm of handmade work. A thoughtful gift for colour lovers, history buffs, or anyone who appreciates timeless design.
