I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the type to appreciate an elaborately' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'ornate tray?' is the wordplay.
'ornate' indicates an anagram (an unusual or complex form of the letters).
'tray' is an anagram of 'ARTY'.
