Astier de Villatte Oval Herbal Braid Platter

Due to the delicate nature of the handmade terracotta and the specific porcelain glaze, we recommend hand washing this piece to preserve its finish and structural integrity.

No, and that is intentional. Because each platter is individually crafted from terracotta clay, you should expect subtle variations in the glaze application and the shape of the braided edge, making your piece one-of-a-kind.

The oval shape and raised feet make it ideal for serving appetizers, cheeses, or small culinary creations. Its sculptural design also allows it to function as a decorative centerpiece on a dining table or sideboard when not in use.

The piece is finished with a crisp white porcelain glaze over the dark terracotta clay. While the glaze is the primary finish, the artisanal nature of the application often allows the character of the underlying clay to subtly influence the texture and depth of the white surface.

The integrated feet are designed to provide a stable, elevated base for the platter. While it offers a sculptural, lifted silhouette, it remains sturdy enough for standard serving purposes on flat, level surfaces.
