Know before you buy
While the plate is crafted from all-natural clay, it is primarily designed as a decorative accent or a catchall for small items. Due to the hand-painted finish and the nature of the artisanal materials, we recommend using it for display rather than serving food.
No, this piece is not dishwasher, microwave, or oven safe. To maintain the integrity of the hand-painted motif and the natural clay, please clean it gently by hand with a soft, dry cloth or a slightly damp sponge.
Because each piece is hand-thrown and hand-painted by artisans, there will be slight variations in shape and finish. These unique imperfections are part of the charm and ensure that your specific plate is one-of-a-kind.
Its irregular 11-inch shape makes it a perfect centerpiece for a coffee table or a catchall for keys and small accessories in an entryway. The lion cub motif adds a whimsical, artistic touch that works well on bookshelves or displayed on a wall.
Every plate is sourced from a village in the Nile Delta that focuses on preserving traditional Egyptian ceramic techniques. By purchasing this item, you are directly supporting these skilled craftspeople and helping to keep their heritage techniques alive.
