Know before you buy
Yes, the server is crafted from ceramic and is food-safe, making it suitable for serving dry goods, appetizers, or snacks.
To preserve the 22k gold trim and brass antlers, we recommend hand washing the piece with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals that could damage the matte finish or metallic details.
Yes, the server includes a matching lid that sits atop the ceramic base. It is designed to complement the asymmetrical shape while keeping the contents covered.
No, due to the 22k gold accents and brass components, this server is not microwave or dishwasher safe. Hand washing is required to maintain its aesthetic integrity.
The matte finish provides a sophisticated, non-reflective look, but like most matte surfaces, it may show oils from handling. A quick wipe with a soft, dry microfiber cloth will easily restore its clean appearance.
The brass antlers serve primarily as a decorative element and a handle for the lid. We recommend supporting the base of the server with both hands when moving it, rather than relying solely on the antlers.
