Know before you buy
Yes, the platter is crafted from food-safe stoneware, making it suitable for serving appetizers, cheeses, or main dishes.
We recommend hand washing this platter to preserve the integrity of the reactive glaze and the artisanal finish. Avoid using harsh abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the glossy surface.
The platter measures 17.25 by 13.25 inches, so it requires a generous footprint. Because of its unique, organic shape, it is best stored flat on a shelf or displayed upright on a sturdy plate stand.
No, the reactive glaze is a hallmark of this collection's artisanal process. Each piece will feature unique variations in the grey, green, tan, and blue flecks, meaning no two platters are exactly alike.
While the stoneware is durable, we recommend avoiding extreme temperature changes. It is best used for serving and display rather than as bakeware or for reheating food.
