Know before you buy
Because of the delicate enamel and nickel-plated finish, this dish is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand-washing it with a soft cloth and mild soap, then drying it immediately to maintain its luster.
No, this piece is strictly for decorative or serving purposes. It is not microwave or oven safe, and should not be used to heat or cook food.
The sapphire-blue enamel is high-quality, but it is a decorative finish. While it is perfectly suited for serving dry snacks like nuts or candies, it should be handled with care to avoid scratching or chipping the surface.
The dish is designed with a balanced base that ensures it sits securely on flat surfaces like coffee tables or dining consoles. Its asymmetrical oyster shape is purely aesthetic and does not compromise its stability.
This piece is ideal for dry items such as nuts, wrapped candies, or small chocolates. Beyond food, its sculptural design makes it a beautiful catch-all for jewelry or small trinkets on a vanity.
