Know before you buy
The Kastehelmi plate measures 315 mm in diameter, which is approximately 12.4 inches. Its generous size makes it ideal for use as a large serving platter or a decorative charger.
The iconic dewdrop pattern is embossed on the underside of the glass. This creates a smooth, flat surface on the top for your food while allowing the light to catch the texture from beneath.
While the glass is durable, it is recommended to hand wash the plate to maintain its clarity and prevent potential chips or clouding over time. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh detergents.
No, this plate is not designed for use in the microwave or oven. It is intended for serving and decorative purposes rather than heat-based food preparation.
Because the glass is clear and features a high-gloss finish, fingerprints can be visible. However, the embossed dewdrop pattern helps to diffuse light and hide minor smudges better than a completely smooth glass surface.
