Know before you buy
The craquelee finish is a decorative crackle glaze that gives the plate a unique, textured appearance. While it has a tactile, sophisticated feel, the surface remains smooth and food-safe for everyday dining.
Yes, this stoneware is designed for versatility. It is fully oven, microwave, and freezer safe, allowing you to transition from food preparation to serving without needing to switch dishes.
As a salad plate, the 8.75-inch diameter is primarily designed for appetizers, salads, or desserts. If you prefer smaller portion sizes, it can function as a light lunch plate, but it may be too compact for a standard dinner entrée.
These plates are dishwasher safe, making them easy to maintain for daily use. Because they are crafted from high-quality fine stoneware, they are durable enough to resist standard wear, though you should avoid extreme thermal shock by not moving them directly from a freezer to a hot oven.
Because each piece is crafted in Portugal using sustainable methods, you may notice slight variations in the craquelee pattern. This is a hallmark of the artisanal process and ensures that every plate has a unique, handcrafted character.
