Know before you buy
No, this piece is not compatible with dishwashers, microwaves, or ovens. It should be hand-washed with care to maintain its unique finish.
The exterior is vitrified porcelain that is left unglazed, creating a matte, tactile surface. This texture is a signature of Mud Australia’s craftsmanship and will naturally smooth out and develop a soft patina with regular handling.
The color is achieved by tinting the porcelain clay itself with pigment before the piece is fired. Because the color is integrated into the material rather than just applied to the surface, it remains deep and consistent throughout the life of the platter.
We recommend hand-washing with mild soap and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive scrubbers, as they can damage the unglazed exterior finish.
Each piece is handmade in Sydney, so you should expect slight variations in shape and texture. These subtle irregularities are intentional and part of the artisan process, ensuring that every platter is unique.
