Know before you buy
The platter measures 15.4 inches in length and 6.1 inches in width. Its elongated rectangular shape is specifically designed to accommodate standard loaf cakes, rectangular pastries, or a series of smaller desserts.
No, this piece is not dishwasher, microwave, or oven safe. Due to the delicate nature of fine French porcelain, we recommend hand washing it with mild soap and avoiding extreme temperature changes.
The Portofino platter features a sleek, minimalist design without handles. Because of its length, we recommend supporting the base with both hands when moving it to ensure a steady grip.
Haviland is a historic French manufacturer known for high-quality, fine porcelain. While it is durable enough for regular use, it is crafted with a level of refinement and finish intended for formal occasions and elegant presentation rather than heavy-duty daily use.
Absolutely. While designed with cakes and pastries in mind, its narrow rectangular profile works beautifully for serving appetizers, charcuterie, or sushi, provided you hand wash the piece after use.
