Know before you buy
The bee is integrated into the ceramic structure during the artisanal crafting process, making it quite durable. However, as with any detailed ceramic piece, it should be handled with care to avoid chipping the delicate wings or antennae.
Measuring 5.4 inches by 4.5 inches, this piece is best suited for small servings like appetizers, bread, butter, or desserts. It also works beautifully as a decorative catch-all tray for jewelry or keys.
Yes, this plate is dishwasher safe. We recommend placing it in the top rack to ensure the 3D bee accent is protected from heavy spray and potential contact with other dishes.
The plate features a textured surface that mimics the natural veins and contours of an oak leaf. This adds to its artisanal, organic aesthetic while providing a unique tactile experience.
Yes, the entire plate is microwave safe. The ceramic material is designed to withstand heat, so you can safely use it to warm up small snacks or appetizers.
