Know before you buy
Because each piece is handcrafted from red clay, you should expect slight variations in the glaze finish and shape. These artisanal differences are intentional and ensure that your specific plate is one-of-a-kind.
Yes, this plate is both microwave and dishwasher safe, making it practical for everyday use despite its delicate, artisanal appearance.
The interior dimensions of the plate measure 5cm by 9cm. It is best suited for small portions like a single cookie, a few berries, or a small serving of nuts.
The red clay provides a warm, earthy foundation that peeks through the 'banana milk' yellow glaze. This combination creates a soft, organic aesthetic that feels more textured and grounded than standard mass-produced ceramics.
With a height of 3cm and a curved shape, the plate can hold small amounts of food with light sauces or dressings. However, it is primarily designed as a dessert or snack plate rather than a bowl for liquids.
