Know before you buy
Yes, the plate is crafted from 100% lead-free Italian pewter and is completely food-safe for serving tarts, pastries, or other culinary creations.
No, this piece is not dishwasher or microwave safe. Due to the nature of the pewter alloy, it should be hand-washed with mild soap and dried immediately to maintain its finish.
Each authentic Toscana Tart Plate features specific hallmark stamps, including the brand's signature 'M' and the '95' mark, which indicates the high-quality tin alloy composition.
Because pewter is a relatively soft metal, it is important to handle the plate gently to avoid scratching or denting. It is also not suitable for use in the oven or over an open flame.
The plate measures 11 inches (279.4 mm) in diameter and stands 3.2 inches (81.28 mm) high, making it an ideal size for standard tarts and desserts.
