Know before you buy
While these pieces are crafted from earthenware, they are primarily designed as decorative catchalls rather than functional serveware. We recommend using them for jewelry, keys, or small trinkets rather than food items.
Because of the delicate hand-painted details and the raised insect embellishments, we recommend cleaning these dishes by hand with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using an abrasive sponge or placing them in the dishwasher, as this could chip the fine details.
The collection features a variety of insects, including ladybugs, frogs, bees, and dragonflies. Please check the specific product variant or listing details to see which insect is featured on the dish you are selecting.
These dishes are made from earthenware, which is a traditional ceramic material. While durable enough for everyday use as a catchall, they should be handled with care to avoid chipping the edges of the leaf or the delicate insect figures.
Each piece is hand-painted, which means there may be slight variations in color and finish. This artisanal process ensures that every dish has a unique character, though they are designed to coordinate beautifully when displayed together.
