Know before you buy
This piece is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand-washing it with mild soap and warm water, then drying it immediately with a soft cloth to maintain the clarity of the glass.
The plate has a 12.25-inch diameter, which comfortably accommodates standard 9-inch or 10-inch round cakes. It provides enough surface area to display a cake with a decorative border or a collection of smaller pastries.
While the Hartland Cake Plate is crafted from high-quality glass, it is a decorative serving piece rather than heavy-duty dinnerware. It is sturdy enough for regular use, but should be handled with care to avoid chips or scratches.
This cake plate is designed for indoor use. We recommend keeping it away from direct sunlight or extreme temperature fluctuations to protect the integrity of the handcrafted glass.
Yes. Because each piece is individually mouth-blown by master glassblowers, you may notice slight variations in the glass, such as tiny bubbles or subtle differences in shape. These characteristics are hallmarks of the artisanal process and make each plate unique.
