Know before you buy
No, these plates are not dishwasher or microwave safe. We recommend hand washing them gently to preserve the hand-painted finish and the integrity of the terracotta.
Because each piece is hand-painted and crafted individually in Portugal, you should expect subtle variations in the brushstrokes and color. This ensures that every plate is a one-of-a-kind piece of art.
At 4.8 inches wide, this mini plate is ideal for serving small appetizers, olives, or nuts. It also works beautifully as a decorative catch-all for jewelry or small trinkets.
Terracotta is a traditional, durable clay, but it is porous by nature. While the glazed finish provides a protective layer, it is best to handle these plates with care to avoid chipping or cracking.
