Know before you buy
No. Due to the delicate nature of the hand-painted finish and the traditional ceramic material, this plate should be hand-washed only and is not suitable for microwave use.
Because each piece is individually crafted by artisans in Egypt's Fayoum oasis, you should expect slight variations in the hand-painted bird motif and ceramic texture. These unique characteristics are a hallmark of the traditional pottery process.
The 12-inch diameter makes it a versatile piece. It works beautifully as a serving platter for cheese and charcuterie, or as a decorative catch-all for keys and small items on an entryway console.
The plate is crafted from 100% Egyptian clay, reflecting the authentic, traditional pottery techniques used by local artisans in the Fayoum region.
To preserve the integrity of the hand-painted bird and leafy frond design, avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh detergents. A gentle hand wash with mild soap and air drying is the best way to maintain the finish.
