Know before you buy
Yes, the tray comes with a matching earthenware lid designed to coordinate with the cabbage-leaf motif.
No, this piece should be hand washed with mild soap and warm water to preserve the integrity of the glaze and the intricate botanical relief.
Due to its sculptural design, it works beautifully as a serving platter for charcuterie, pastries, or fresh fruit. It also functions well as a decorative centerpiece when not in use.
While earthenware is substantial and durable, the tray is designed for standard tabletop use. Its weight provides a stable base for serving, though it should be handled with the care typical of fine ceramics.
The relief is detailed, but because the surface is glazed, it is relatively easy to wipe down. We recommend using a soft sponge or cloth to ensure you reach into the crevices of the botanical design.
