Know before you buy
No, this platter is not dishwasher, microwave, or oven safe. We recommend hand washing it with mild soap to preserve the handpainted design.
Not at all. While it is crafted from durable melamine, the high-quality Italian manufacturing gives it a refined finish that mimics the elegance of traditional ceramics while offering superior break resistance.
It is best suited for room-temperature or cold dishes. Because it is not oven or microwave safe, it should not be used to heat food or hold items directly from the oven.
The platter weighs 1.81 kg (4 lbs). While it has a substantial, high-quality feel, its generous 18-inch length means you should use two hands when carrying it to ensure stability.
Yes, it is an excellent choice for outdoor entertaining. Its durable melamine construction makes it much more resilient to accidental drops than ceramic or glass, making it ideal for patios and garden settings.
