FAQs
Is this plate microwave safe?
The product is designed primarily for serving and is listed as dishwasher safe, but it is best to avoid microwave use to protect the hand-painted finish.
Can this be used for hot foods?
The plate is suitable for serving warm snacks, but it is not intended for use as a primary vessel for extremely hot, boiling foods.
What are the exact dimensions?
The plate measures approximately 20cm in height, 17.9cm in width, and 3.4cm in depth.
Is the design consistent on every plate?
As this is a hand-painted item, slight variations in the finish may occur, which is a common characteristic of high-quality artisanal dinnerware.
Is it safe for children to use?
Yes, it is made of ceramic and is safe for food service; however, like any ceramic dinnerware, it can break if dropped on hard surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Surface appears dull after multiple dishwasher cycles.
Hand wash with a soft sponge and mild soap to restore the finish and avoid further exposure to harsh dishwasher detergents.
Stubborn food residue caught in the textured scarf design.
Soak the plate in warm, soapy water for 5-10 minutes and use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge debris from the textured areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No assembly is required for this product; simply unpack and it is ready for use. While the plate is dishwasher safe, to maintain the vibrancy of the hand-painted details over many years, hand washing with mild detergent is recommended to prevent potential fading or chipping from high-heat dishwasher cycles. Ensure the plate is placed securely in the dishwasher racks if you choose to use a machine, avoiding overcrowding with heavy or sharp metal utensils that could scratch the surface.
