(To prevent oil stains and odor absorption) Suitable for serving salads and simmered dishes. They are also great for serving fruit! They have various uses, making them perfect for use in the home! Please, give them a try. Finished with carbonized firing, showing the color of the clay. Also, to give it a rough texture, a slightly sandy clay is used. A part of the edge of the plate is indented as an accent. Also, the bottom has a 4mm foot. They stack well, so they can be stored in a cupboard! Because clay with a high iron content is used, black spots, like freckles, may appear even on the glazed parts. Dishwasher and microwave safe. Because they are handmade, there are subtle differences in each piece. Please understand.
