This plate will really make your food shine. It's actually classic stoneware, double-kiln fired up to porcelain levels, is food-safe, microwave-save, dishwasher-safe, and even oven-safe (up to 300 F). The finish is classic creamy white, and the plate was hand-finished, to give it a beautiful, all-natural feel. No two will be alike, and we took great care to reduce the glossiness a little. This will contrast beautifully with whatever food you put on it, especially darker colored foods, such as meats or sauce-rich foods. It's also absolutely beautiful for plating and restaurant presentations
