Bordallo Pinheiro Cabbage Platter

Yes, as a handcrafted ceramic piece, it has a substantial weight that keeps it stable when serving heavy main courses like roasts or large salads.

While the design has raised details, the glaze is smooth and non-porous, which prevents food from sticking. It is also fully dishwasher safe if you prefer not to hand wash it.

While the platter is microwave safe, it is not designed to be used inside an oven or under a broiler. It is best suited for serving food that has already been cooked or for cold appetizers.

The platter measures 17 inches in length. Because of the oval shape and the cabbage-leaf rim, the central flat area is generous enough to accommodate a whole chicken, a large fish, or a substantial arrangement of side dishes.

Each piece is handcrafted in Portugal, so you may notice slight variations in the glaze application or the leaf detailing. These subtle differences are part of the charm and authenticity of the Bordallo Pinheiro process.
