Blue Sky Clayworks Country Cottage Bird Serving Platter

The bird motif is subtly embossed, providing texture without deep crevices that trap food. It is easy to wipe down by hand, and because the piece is dishwasher safe, you won't need to worry about scrubbing the design.

While the platter is microwave safe, it is not explicitly rated for oven use. We recommend using it for serving food that has already been cooked or for warming items in the microwave rather than baking on it.

The hand-painted details are sealed under a durable ceramic glaze, which protects the design from fading or chipping during regular use. Like all artisanal ceramic pieces, it will maintain its quality best if you avoid harsh abrasive cleaners.

Yes, the 14-inch by 9.5-inch oval shape is well-sized for a standard main course, such as a whole roasted chicken, a large serving of pasta, or an array of appetizers. It offers plenty of surface area for family-style dining.

Because this is a hand-cast and hand-painted item, you should expect slight variations in the brushwork and finish. These small differences are part of the artisanal charm and ensure that your specific platter is unique.
