Know before you buy
While the earthenware construction is durable, we recommend hand washing to preserve the intricate details and vibrant glaze. They are generally microwave safe for short intervals, but avoid extreme temperature changes to prevent thermal shock.
Each plate has a diameter of 8.5 inches. This size is specifically designed for dessert portions, appetizers, or small side dishes rather than full-sized entrees.
The plates are designed to replicate the natural look of a kiwi, featuring a textured surface that captures the fruit's organic shape and details. This adds a tactile, artisanal quality to your table setting.
Yes, this set includes four plates, all featuring the same kiwi-inspired design. They are intended to be used as a cohesive set to create a consistent, vibrant theme.
Because of the unique, organic shape and textured edges, it is best to store them carefully. We recommend using felt plate dividers between each piece if you plan to stack them to protect the glaze and edges.
