Visibility tray
A chart adapted from "The Use of Color" from Whiting-Plover Company in Stevens Point, WI. The chart is a graphic representation of the relative visibility of colors at a distance as a test for color blindness. Influenced by Dr. Edward Ayers, who is responsible for the standardized use of black on yellow for road signs.
The Whiting-Plover mill is one of the oldest mills on the Wisconsin River. From 1892, it was used for the production of fine papers, primarily from ragstock. The mill is associated with George A. Whiting, a key figure in the early history of the Wisconsin paper industry.
This tray is 5x8" with a depth of 1/4."

Please see our "Details" section for more information on the construction, and care of our table trays. In the potichomania process, the glass acts as both a foundation and protective finish, saving the step of varnishing. The original intent was to recreate Greek and Etruscan vases by simulating rare and expensive Sevrés porcelain.

Details & Care of Tray
This tray measures approximately 5x8 inches. The relative thinness of the tray – just over 1/8” thick – belies the complexity of the potichomania process. Each of our trays is comprised of a glass tray, three layers of 28# paper, four coatings of varnish, and finished with two coats, each of paint and clear acrylic spray. We’ve added a high-quality felt pad on the bottom in order to protect your home surfaces.a
Care: Please spray with a gentle glass cleanser and wipe clean. Do not submerge in water. For decorative purposes only.
