Know before you buy
No, each piece is individually crafted and hand-glazed, so you should expect slight variations in the texture and finish. These unique characteristics are a hallmark of the artisanal process and ensure your platter is one-of-a-kind.
The platter features a thick, substantial design that gives it a weighted, high-quality feel. While it is sturdy enough for heavy serving, its weight reflects the authentic, hand-formed ceramic construction.
The semi-matte finish is durable, but like many matte-glazed ceramics, it can occasionally show light surface marks from metal cutlery. We recommend using serving utensils that won't scratch the surface to maintain the pristine look of the charcoal glaze.
It is fully functional as a serving piece and safe for food service. Its generous 18-inch length makes it ideal for presenting large roasts, appetizers, or side dishes to guests.
To preserve the integrity of the hand-applied glaze, we recommend hand washing with mild soap and warm water. Avoid using harsh abrasives or high-heat dishwasher cycles, which can dull the finish over time.
