Know before you buy
No, these should be hand-washed only. Because they are crafted from natural Mother of Pearl, harsh detergents and high-heat cycles can damage the delicate shell material.
Because each piece is hand-carved from natural shell, you should expect slight variations in the iridescent pink and pearl tones. This natural variance is part of their unique charm.
These are ideal for soft spreads like caviar, tapenades, jams, and soft cheeses. They are designed for serving and spreading rather than heavy-duty kitchen prep.
Store them in a dry place, ideally separated from metal cutlery to prevent scratching the surface of the shell. A soft cloth pouch or a dedicated drawer organizer works best to maintain their luster.
Yes, Mother of Pearl is a natural, non-porous material that is perfectly safe for serving food. Since they are ethically sourced and hand-crafted, they contain no harmful synthetic coatings.
