My tray is used for decoration, the bowl though is made with a food safe glaze so you can you it to put candy in. My design makes it fun and makes people think of sweets.
What made me think of this idea is the Hershey bar that was left over after Easter. When you think about it they are pretty big and when I carried it upstairs I carried somethings on top of it, so in a way it worked as a tray for me. So I made the tray first, I started by rolling a slab of clay out and cutting out a rectangle. I then pressed the remains together and rolled them again, this time cutting out smaller rectangles and scratching and slipping them onto the larger rectangle, then I cut out a chunk to make it look like a bite mark. I then fired it, while that was happening I took a bowl and wrapped it in plastic wrap, then put on clay around it. I shaped the clay, waited a day for it to harden, took it off the cup, made designs on the edges and had that fired too. The bowl came back to me first and I glazed it using mint, red, brown, and purple colored glazes. Then it was glaze fired. I paint the bottom with acrylic paint that matched the purple. Then the tray came to me and I glazed it with brown glazes, glaze fired it, then painted the rest with acrylic paint.
