n ancient Rome, alabaster was used to craft busts of society's most revered figures: gods, goddesses, emperors, and their families. Today, we use this beautiful, fine-grained stone to craft our Ranna alabaster tray. Artisans carve and smooth the alabaster pieces by hand; to build the hand-carved tray, they then carefully join the components together. Because alabaster is translucent, our Ranna decorative trays seem to be lit from within, with captivating colorations that are sure to catch anyone's eye.
