Know before you buy
No, this terracotta platter is not oven or microwave safe. It is designed specifically for serving and presentation rather than cooking or reheating.
Because this piece is not dishwasher safe, you should hand wash it gently with mild soap and warm water. Ensure it is completely dry before storing it to maintain the integrity of the terracotta.
The platter measures 19.5 inches in length and 8 inches in width, providing a generous surface area for whole fish, appetizers, or charcuterie. Its 1.25-inch height helps contain items while keeping them easily accessible.
Yes, the glazed finish provides a protective layer over the terracotta, making it suitable for direct contact with food. It also helps prevent staining from oils or sauces.
Terracotta is a dense, durable material, so the platter has a substantial, high-quality feel. Since it does not have handles, we recommend supporting the base with both hands when moving it from the kitchen to the table.
