Noritake Colorwave Platter

The matte finish is designed for durability, but like all stoneware, it can show slight surface marks if metal utensils are dragged heavily across the surface. We recommend using serving spoons or silicone utensils to keep the finish looking pristine over time.

The 11.75-inch square footprint actually provides more corner-to-corner surface area than a round platter of a similar diameter. This makes it particularly efficient for arranging appetizers, sushi, or sliced meats in organized, geometric rows.

Yes, this stoneware is fully microwave safe. It is built to withstand standard heating cycles, making it convenient for warming up appetizers or keeping a dish at the right temperature before serving.

No special care is needed. The platter is dishwasher safe and designed to handle standard cycles without compromising the contrast between the glazed interior and the matte exterior.

Stoneware is naturally denser and heavier than fine china or porcelain, which gives this platter a sturdy, grounded feel on the table. It is substantial enough to feel high-quality without being cumbersome to carry when full.
