Know before you buy
To preserve the finish, hand wash the platter with mild soap and water, then dry it immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the sand-washed enamel texture.
No, this piece is not oven or microwave safe. It is designed primarily for serving room-temperature or chilled items like hors d'oeuvres, cheeses, or breads.
Yes, the platter is designed for food service. However, because of the textured enamel finish, it is best suited for dry or solid foods rather than liquids or sauces.
The platter is weighted and balanced for stability despite its organic, elongated shape. It sits securely on flat surfaces, making it both a functional serving piece and a stable decorative accent.
While the nickelplate is durable, the textured enamel finish can be susceptible to scratching if handled roughly. We recommend using soft serving utensils and avoiding stacking other heavy items directly on top of the platter during storage.
