Yes, I don't believe Dennis called it a serving tray but the moment I saw it in my bundle it looked so pretty that I couldn't figure out what it was and thought it must be a serving tray. Someone corrected me and said it was a heat deflector. I've used it as a heat deflector and now can no longer call it a serving tray. That just goes to show you how good the things are that Dennis includes in every shipment. You are so right cschaaf, it is a piece of art.
