Know before you buy
No. Because each platter is handcrafted using real leaves, every piece features a unique imprint. You can expect the same organic aesthetic, but the specific leaf patterns and placement will vary from the product photo.
Yes. The stoneware is fired at temperatures exceeding 2200 degrees Fahrenheit, making it robust enough for regular use in both the dishwasher and microwave.
The platter measures 12.5 inches in length and 8.5 inches in width. It is sized well for serving appetizers, side dishes, or a main course for a small group.
The glaze is designed for durability and protection, so it does not require special maintenance. Standard dishwashing is perfectly safe, though hand washing can help preserve the finish's luster over many years.
The platter has a textured feel due to the leaf imprints, which create a subtle, fossil-like relief on the surface. While it is food-safe and easy to clean, it is not a perfectly flat, smooth surface like mass-produced porcelain.
