I just want to recall that word. It's a special term for such an item.

It's not called vanity tray or basket. It's ONE word.

Can be Toiletries / Amenities Tray or Basket
OT abit, the PVC/leather-bound writing pad containing stationary, located on the writing desk (usually in front of the room mirror) is called a Compendium.

Think of the question as if it were written like this:
There are three common words in: "The English Language."
What is the third word?
Well, now they're asking "what is the third word in the phrase 'The English Language.'" And, of course, it's "language!"

No. It's ONE word....not this tray or that tray, or this basket or that basket. The word itself gives no hint whatsoever that it has anything to do with its function. Maybe people in the hospitality industry would know. It was the first time I came across that word.

You often see in hotel rooms, especially on the vanity top in the bathroom a tray housing toothbrushes, shampoo etc.

Does anyone know the professional term for this item ? I know it's not called a bathroom tray.

Platter? Receptacle?

 

[kingrant]

It's a caddy. After the golf countepart.

I did check the reverse dictionary where I gave the input for the meaning and it churned out a list of related words. 'Caddy' was one of them, but I'm pretty sure it's not caddy. It was a word I never came across in my entire life, and I was wondering at that point of time why a Chinese hotel used such an obscure word for describe a simple item.

The reason why I'm asking is because I have been commissioned by a local farmstay hotel to custom design a similar item, and I was hoping that a correct word search would throw up more resources from the WWW.

Can you confirm:

1. The word you saw sounds English and not Italian or French
2. You said it is one word, how many letters?
3. Cab you recall the last end letters, are they "rie" or "que" or something else?

I think with a few clues we might be able to get an answer.

Forvendet had raised a similar suspicion. But I have already clarified that I did a check with the English dictionary. When I saw the list items including TV, slippers etc. then a strange word popped up and I was wondering what did I miss. I immediately went online and checked for the meaning of the word.

1. It's definitely English because I did a check using English dictionary without which I wouldn't have known the meaning.

I'm not able to recall 2 and 3, I'm afraid.

Salver, trencher, plateau, turntable?

Salver, trencher, plateau, turntable?

Thanks, but not. These words turned up when I did a reverse dictionary check previously.

 

[cowbellc]

You should trace to the source.
Just call that hotel.

Can trust English translation in China? That is why the word was obscure, I mean like Cow Car water for Chinatown.
