The heavy weight provides excellent stability for dough preparation, a key functional advantage. The naturally cool marble surface further enhances baking satisfaction.

Know before you buy
No. Because each piece is a genuine vintage item, you should expect variations in size, shape, and marble veining. Every board is one-of-a-kind, meaning your piece will have its own unique historical character.
While originally designed for preparing unleavened bread, these boards are versatile enough to serve as a sturdy base for candles, statuary, or as a unique serving platter for appetizers. If using for food, please note that vintage marble may have a porous surface that can absorb oils or pigments over time.
Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals, acidic cleaners, or abrasive scrubbers, as these can damage the natural stone and its vintage patina.
The decorative shapes are designed to function as handles, making it easy to move the board around your kitchen or tabletop. However, because the board is made of solid marble, it will have a significant weight that you should account for when handling.
The boards are crafted to sit flat and provide a stable base for your items. While the silhouette is asymmetrical, the bottom surface is designed to remain level for practical use.
