Know before you buy
Yes, it is designed for serving both appetizers and main courses. However, because it is not oven or microwave safe, you should ensure your food is at a serving-ready temperature before placing it on the platter.
The platter is finished with delicate, low-fire glazes that can be damaged by the high heat and harsh detergents used in dishwashers. Hand washing with mild soap is necessary to preserve the integrity and appearance of the artisanal finish.
No, this platter is not microwave safe. The earthenware construction and specific glaze type are not designed to withstand the rapid temperature changes of microwave heating.
While the earthenware is durable, it is a handcrafted piece of functional art. We recommend handling it with care and avoiding abrasive scrubbers during cleaning to prevent scratching the glazed surface.
The Rock Bass Small Oval Platter measures 14 inches in length, 10 inches in width, and 1.5 inches in height, providing a generous surface area for your culinary presentations.
