Hand-Painted Lemons Serving Platter
Long summers in Malta linger in this piece — sun-warmed lemon and orange trees, bougainvillea trailing along a garden wall, and the sweet citrus scent of fruit picked straight from the branch. This acacia wood serving platter carries that childhood memory in every hand-painted lemon, turning a simple tray into a joyful centrepiece for your table. Whether laid out for a birthday, a wedding celebration, or a quiet family dinner, it brings a little piece of Mediterranean sunshine home.

The story
Every lemon on this tray is painted by hand, inspired by the two lemon trees and two orange trees that once grew in my family’s garden in Malta. Raised handles and a generous acacia wood surface make this platter as practical as it is beautiful, finished with natural anti-bacterial properties for serving nibbles, fruit, or your favourite antipasti. It’s a piece designed to bring Mediterranean style home decor into everyday life, adding warmth and colour to any kitchen or dining table.

Handmade, and proud of it
Because this platter is hand-painted and made from natural acacia wood, no two pieces are ever exactly alike. You may notice gentle variations in the wood grain or small imperfections in the paintwork — these aren’t flaws, but proof of the loving, human hands behind every Bonnymia piece.
