Know before you buy
While the plate is crafted from high-quality glass, it is primarily intended as a decorative piece. Due to its delicate, flame-worked construction and unique shape, it is best used for display or serving dry, lightweight items rather than heavy or hot meals.
This plate is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the integrity of the hand-made glass and the intricate design, we recommend hand-washing it gently with mild soap and lukewarm water, then drying it with a soft, lint-free cloth.
No, this piece is not microwave or oven safe. The flame-worked glass is sensitive to extreme temperature changes, so it should only be used for decorative purposes at room temperature.
Flame-working is a specialized glass-shaping method where the artist uses a torch to heat and manipulate the glass. This technique allows for the precise, sculptural details seen in the eggplant design that would be impossible to achieve with standard mold-blown glass.
The colors are integrated into the high-quality glass during the crafting process, so they will not fade or peel. To keep the piece looking its best, avoid prolonged exposure to direct, harsh sunlight.
