From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
A tray is a shallow container designed for carrying things. Trays are flat, but with raised edges to stop things from sliding off them. They are often rectangular, and may or may not have handles with which to carry them.
An example of a tray is a tea tray (or "tea-tray"), which is used to carry cups of tea. The poem "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Bat!", which appears in the children's book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, suggests that the bat is "like a tea-tray in the sky".
