Josephine Interiors Hobnail Plate

Yes, the stoneware construction is durable enough for both microwave and dishwasher use. However, because it is handcrafted, we recommend avoiding extreme temperature shocks to maintain the integrity of the finish.

Each piece is made by artisans, so you should expect slight variations in the hobnail texture and glaze. These small differences are intentional and part of the charm of handmade pottery.

Its 8.5 by 6-inch size makes it perfect for serving appetizers, cheeses, or side dishes. It is a bit too small for a full dinner entree, but it excels as a serving piece for shared plates.

The texture is raised but smooth, so it does not trap food particles easily. A standard sponge or dishwasher cycle will clean it effectively without needing special scrubbing.

The plate features a 1.25-inch depth, which creates a subtle lip around the edge. This is helpful for containing sauces or juices if you are serving appetizers like bruschetta or roasted vegetables.
