Know before you buy
The medieval coin design is embossed into the stoneware, but the surface remains smooth and glazed. It is easy to clean and does not trap food particles during normal use.
While the stoneware is both freezer and oven safe, we recommend allowing the platter to reach room temperature before placing it in a hot oven to prevent thermal shock.
Because each piece is hand-formed in Portugal, you may notice slight variations in the shape and texture. These subtle differences are intentional and highlight the artisanal quality of the stoneware.
Measuring 15.75" x 11.25", this platter is well-sized for a whole roasted chicken or a medium-sized roast. It provides ample surface area for main courses or large displays of appetizers.
The platter is fully dishwasher safe. We recommend loading it securely in the rack to ensure it doesn't shift or knock against other dishes during the cycle.
