No, this plate is not dishwasher, microwave, or oven safe. We recommend hand washing it gently to preserve the quality of the artisanal glaze.
Each plate is unique due to the handmade nature of the production in the Fayoum oasis. You should expect slight variations in color and pattern, which are hallmarks of the artisanal process.
Because the plates are not designed to be stackable, it is best to store them individually or use a protective cloth between them if you are layering them in a cabinet.
