Know before you buy
No, each piece is hand-carved from natural acacia wood, meaning you should expect variations in wood grain patterns and color tones. These unique characteristics are part of the collection's artisanal charm.
No, these plates must be hand washed only. Dishwashers use high heat and harsh detergents that will cause the wood to warp, crack, or lose its finish over time.
To keep the acacia wood from drying out, you should occasionally treat the plates with a food-safe wood oil. This simple maintenance preserves the integrity of the wood and keeps the grain looking vibrant.
Yes, acacia is a dense, durable hardwood, making these plates functional for everyday dining. While they are sturdy, they require more careful handling and maintenance than ceramic or porcelain dinnerware.
Absolutely. The Kennedy collection is designed with a simple, modern aesthetic that pairs beautifully with ceramic or stoneware. Using them as charger plates under your existing dinnerware is a great way to add warmth and texture to your table.
