Soho Home Hillcrest Serving Platter

No. Because each piece is handcrafted by artisans in Italy, you should expect slight variations in the glaze and finish. These individual maker marks are intentional and part of what gives the stoneware its authentic, rustic character.

While the robust Tuscan stoneware is durable, we recommend hand washing to preserve the unique glaze and finish over time. Please check the care instructions included with your specific item regarding microwave use, as artisanal glazes can sometimes react differently to high heat.

The platter measures 14.6 inches wide by 11 inches deep, making it an ideal size for serving main courses like a whole roasted chicken, a large arrangement of appetizers, or a selection of grilled vegetables. Its oval shape provides a generous surface area for family-style dining.

Tuscan stoneware is naturally sturdy, but like any artisanal ceramic, it should be handled with care to avoid chipping the edges. Avoid thermal shock by not moving the platter directly from a very cold environment to a hot oven or vice versa.

The finish is glazed, which provides a smooth, food-safe surface for serving. However, because it is handcrafted, you may feel subtle variations in the texture that reflect the artisan's touch during the glazing process.
