Know before you buy
No, this piece is not dishwasher or microwave safe. We recommend hand washing it gently to preserve the hand-painted finish and the integrity of the stoneware.
This platter is not oven-safe. It is designed for serving room-temperature or chilled foods rather than being used as a cooking vessel.
Because every platter is individually hand-painted by the artist, there will be slight variations in the brushwork and design. This ensures that your specific piece is a unique work of art.
High-fired stoneware is known for its density and durability, making it a robust choice for a serving piece. While it is sturdy enough for everyday use, it should still be handled with the care typically afforded to artisanal ceramics.
The platter is crafted in an XL oval shape, providing a generous surface area ideal for serving large main courses, appetizers, or family-style meals.
