Know before you buy
Because of the delicate hand-painted gold accent and the unique stoneware finish, this plate is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand-washing it gently with a soft sponge and mild detergent to preserve the finish.
Yes, this plate is microwave safe. However, please be mindful that the gold-painted beak may become hot to the touch after heating, so handle it with care.
Each piece is handmade using a gypsum mold technique, which results in subtle variations. Features like iron spots, glaze pooling, and the 'crashing' crackle pattern are intentional characteristics of the artisanal process, making every swan unique.
It is perfectly safe for serving sweets or small appetizers. Please note that it is not oven or freezer safe, so it should not be used for cooking or extreme temperature changes.
Due to the unique swan-shaped design and the nature of the handmade stoneware, these plates are not designed to be stacked. We recommend storing them individually to prevent chipping or scratching the matte finish.
