Know before you buy
No, this platter is not microwave or oven safe. Due to the delicate platinum detailing, it should only be used for serving and presentation.
To preserve the integrity of the platinum threading and the glazed finish, this piece must be hand-washed only. Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh detergents that could scratch the surface or damage the metallic accents.
The platter features the iconic Impero silhouette, a historic shape reimagined by the legendary designer Gio Ponti. It combines classic Italian proportions with a modern, geometric aesthetic.
Yes, the Catene Nero platter works beautifully as a statement piece. While it is part of the cohesive Catene collection, its monochromatic black and platinum palette allows it to complement minimalist white dinnerware or other formal table settings.
The platinum accents are applied with artisanal mastery typical of Ginori 1735. When handled with care and cleaned according to instructions, the finish will retain its luster for years to come.
