Know before you buy
No, this platter is not dishwasher or microwave safe. Due to the delicate 24K gold plating and oxidized finish, it should be hand-washed only with a gentle detergent and dried immediately with a soft cloth.
This piece is strictly for serving and display purposes. It is not oven-safe, and using it for heating may damage the gold-plated finish and the integrity of the hand-welded edges.
The edges are hand-welded to create a unique, organic texture. While they are designed to be a decorative feature, they are finished to be safe for handling during serving.
To preserve the finish, avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the gold plate. Simply wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth after hand-washing to prevent water spots.
No, each platter is a unique work of art. Because the edges are hand-welded, there will be slight variations in the texture and appearance of the welds, making your specific piece one-of-a-kind.
