| Multipurpose design functions as a serving dish, charger plate, or home decor accent | Requires careful handling and immediate retirement from food service if cracked or chipped |
| Dishwasher-safe construction, though gentle hand washing preserves the finish best | Handmade variation means individual pieces will not be entirely uniform |
