Know before you buy
Yes, the earthenware construction is durable and heat-resistant, making it perfectly safe for serving warm appetizers.
To preserve the hand-painted finish and the integrity of the ceramic, we recommend hand washing with mild soap. Avoid using harsh abrasives or soaking the piece for extended periods.
Due to the sculptural nature of the lobster detail, these plates do not stack perfectly flat like standard dinnerware. We recommend storing them individually or with protective padding to prevent chipping.
Yes, Bordallo Pinheiro adheres to strict manufacturing standards, ensuring that all glazes used on their earthenware are food-safe and lead-free.
While earthenware is generally heat-tolerant, we recommend avoiding the microwave to prevent thermal shock, which can cause cracking in detailed, sculptural ceramic pieces.
