Know before you buy
Because each piece is crafted by hand in Portugal, you should expect slight variations in the glaze and leaf detailing. These artisanal differences are intentional and ensure that your specific platter is one-of-a-kind.
We recommend hand-washing the platter with mild soap and a soft cloth to preserve the intricate leaf texture and glaze. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemicals that could scratch the ceramic surface.
The platter features a sculptural, organic shape with raised vein patterns. While it is stable on a flat surface, the uneven texture makes it better suited for finger foods, cheeses, or decorative display rather than items that require a perfectly level base.
Yes, this ceramic platter is heat-resistant and suitable for serving warm snacks. However, avoid extreme temperature shocks, such as moving it directly from a cold refrigerator to a hot oven, to prevent potential cracking.
Measuring 17" x 15", this is a substantial piece that works best as a focal point on a dining table or kitchen island. It provides ample surface area for a large charcuterie spread or a generous arrangement of appetizers.
