Bordallo Pinheiro Cabbage Platter

Yes, this earthenware platter is dishwasher safe. However, because of the intricate leaf detailing, we recommend placing it carefully to avoid chipping against other dishes.

While the earthenware is durable, it is generally best to avoid using this platter in the microwave to preserve the integrity of the glaze and prevent thermal shock.

As a handcrafted earthenware piece, it has a substantial, high-quality weight. It feels sturdy and stable on the table, which is ideal for serving heavier main courses like roasts or large salads.

The glaze is smooth and non-porous, so food does not stick easily to the textured surface. A standard sponge or soft brush is usually sufficient to clean around the leaf details.

Because each piece is handcrafted, the glaze application can vary slightly, which is part of the charm. You can expect a rich, vibrant finish that highlights the depth of the cabbage leaf texture.
