This beautifully hand-painted platter is truly one-of-a-kind. Painted by artists whose designs are inspired by nature - birds, flowers, trees - and color palettes range from neutral and understated to bright and colorful. No two are alike. One of our most unusual and beautiful platters, this piece is done with a matte glaze technique and is etched, not painted. The design stands out in relief from the background. A really striking platter.
Designed for food use, this high-fired ceramic piece is oven safe and durable. Use it to reheat or keep food warm before taking it directly to the table for serving. Gorgeous for presentation, plate your favorite salads, pastas, or appetizers on it - a standout piece to be used and treasured for a lifetime.

Did you know? Sgrafitto is the Italian term for the technique of etching a design into a body of work with a sharp object instead of painting it on the surface.
Features & Benefits
- Terra cotta clay high fired at 2,000°F for strength, durability and chip resistance.
- All our pieces are completely handmade, natural earthenware. Minor imperfections add authenticity and charm, and are part of the piece.
- Easy to clean, hand-applied glaze.
- Lead and cadmium free.
Use & Care
- Oven and microwave safe.
- Clear ceramic glaze provides ease of cleaning. For difficult areas to clean, first soak for a few minutes in water, then scrub with a soft abrasive pad. Do not use metallic scouring pads.
- Dishwasher safe, but we recommend hand washing to give the best care to your earthenware. See our section Clay Cooking 101 for detailed explanations and effects of soaps and detergents on earthenware.
- Earthenware does not like extreme temperature changes. For example, do not take a platter cold from the refrigerator and place it directly in a hot oven; it may crack.
