Know before you buy
Not at all. Despite the slate-like texture, the surface is glazed premium porcelain, which prevents food from sticking and allows for easy cleaning in the dishwasher.
Yes, the Manufacture Rock Salad Plate is fully microwave safe, making it convenient for warming up sides or leftovers.
The 8.5-inch square design provides ample surface area for salads, appetizers, or desserts. Its geometric shape adds a modern touch to your table while remaining functional for standard dining needs.
The premium porcelain construction is designed for durability and everyday use. While the textured finish is robust, we recommend avoiding the use of serrated knives directly on the surface to maintain the pristine look of the plate over time.
Each plate is crafted in Germany, adhering to Villeroy & Boch’s high standards for quality, craftsmanship, and material durability.
