What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly value this board for its exceptional artistic merit and design quality. Reviewers consistently describe the piece as stunning and a true centerpiece, praising the unique aesthetic that merges John Derian's vintage imagery with Astier de Villatte's milky white earthenware. The craftsmanship is highly regarded; the ceramic feels both delicate and substantial, and the handmade nature adds unique character.

Know before you buy
No, the board is finished with a food-grade oil to ensure it is safe for direct contact with food.
While the board is food-safe, it is primarily designed as a serving piece. Using sharp knives directly on the surface will likely leave marks and compromise the smooth finish.
Wipe the board clean with a damp cloth after use. Avoid soaking it in water or putting it in the dishwasher, and periodically apply a food-safe wood oil to keep the material nourished.
The board features a smooth, flat surface inspired by a painter's palette, making it stable for tabletop presentation.
It is best used for room-temperature items like charcuterie, cheeses, or appetizers. Avoid placing extremely hot cookware directly on the wood to prevent potential warping or finish damage.
