FAQs

Is the Bordallo Pinheiro Cloudy Butterflies platter microwave safe?

While made of ceramic, it is generally recommended to avoid microwave use with hand-painted decorative items to preserve the intricate details and finish. Always refer to specific product care instructions if available.

Can I put this platter in the dishwasher?

It is strongly advised to hand wash this platter. Dishwasher detergents and the high heat cycles can damage the hand-painted elements and the glaze over time.

What is the significance of the 'Cloudy Butterflies' collection?

The 'Cloudy Butterflies' collection is a collaboration with fashion icon Claudia Schiffer, merging her elegant vision with Bordallo Pinheiro's tradition of naturalistic Portuguese ceramics. It features hand-painted butterflies on textured ceramic.

How do I clean stubborn food marks?

For stubborn marks, try soaking the affected area in warm water with a small amount of mild dish soap for a short period. Gently scrub with a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid abrasive materials.

What does 'textured ceramic' refer to?

The textured ceramic refers to the surface finish of the platter, which is designed to resemble the natural, raised venation found on butterfly wings, adding a tactile dimension to the piece.

What are the dimensions of the oval platter?

Specific dimensions should be confirmed with the product's official specifications. However, its oval design is intended to be generous for serving.

Troubleshooting

Dishwasher leaving residue or dulling the finish.

Discontinue dishwasher use and opt for hand washing with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Ensure the detergent is not overly harsh.

Small chips or cracks appearing on the edge.

Handle the platter with extra care during washing, drying, and storage. Avoid placing it near the edge of counters or tables. For minor chips, consult ceramic repair specialists if desired, though structural integrity may be compromised.

Colour fading on the hand-painted butterflies.

Ensure the platter is not exposed to prolonged direct sunlight or harsh cleaning chemicals. Revert to gentle hand washing and dry immediately.
