Know before you buy
No, these plates are not microwave, dishwasher, oven, or freezer safe. They require hand washing to preserve the integrity of the hand-painted finish and stoneware material.
Each plate measures 10.75 inches in diameter, providing a standard, generous surface area for main courses.
These plates are crafted from fine stoneware, but they are not specifically treated for chip resistance. We recommend handling them with care to maintain the artisanal wavy edges.
Due to the unique, hand-painted wavy edges and the specific rim design, these plates are not designed to be stacked. They are best stored individually or with protective separators to avoid scratching the glazed finish.
The Alentejo collection is crafted in Portugal, where artisans apply the hand-painted details to each piece.
