Know before you buy
No, this platter is not suitable for microwave or oven use. It is designed primarily for serving or decorative display.
The Aalto platter must be hand washed to preserve the integrity of the matte-glazed stoneware finish. Dishwasher use is not recommended.
Despite its irregular, flowing silhouette, the platter is engineered to stack neatly with others in the collection. This helps save space in your cabinets while maintaining the aesthetic of the design.
At 25 cm wide, this platter is ideal for serving appetizers, cheeses, or small desserts. Its unique shape also makes it a functional tray for organizing small items on a desk or as a base for candles.
The stoneware is durable, but like all matte-glazed ceramics, it can be susceptible to metal marks from cutlery. We recommend using wooden or silicone utensils to keep the surface looking pristine.
