This tray is a good reminder that not every favorite find is rare.
I first spotted it while thrifting and was immediately drawn to the geometric pattern. At the time, I didn't buy it. But I kept thinking about it and found myself going back a few days later.
Since then, I've learned that the motif is called Seigaiha, a traditional Japanese pattern representing ocean waves, often associated with peace, resilience, and good fortune.
While this tray isn't particularly hard to find, it earned a place because of its fun pattern, versatility, and deep navy color. It's equally at home holding candles, corralling everyday objects, or simply standing on its own.
Sometimes the best discoveries aren't the rarest ones; they're the ones you can't stop thinking about.
