Plate, Round, Dessert, 7.25" in "Merlot Garden" by Manufaktura | T131T-P353

Imagine ending your sumptuous meal with a flourish by serving dessert on the exquisite Polish Pottery 7.25" Dessert Plate from Manufaktura. This isn't just any plate; it's a piece of art crafted in the heart of Boleslawiec, Poland, renowned for its pottery-making tradition. Each plate is hand-painted with the "Merlot Garden" pattern, featuring a symphony of maroon flowers, light gray swirls, and lively lime green dots, all set against a crisp white background. The design not only captivates the eye but also tells a story of artisanal heritage, making each dessert experience a moment to cherish.

The "Merlot Garden" pattern encapsulates the traditional artistry of Polish pottery, employing the time-honored "punching" technique of hand stamping. This method, carried out by highly skilled artists, allows for a vibrant play of colors and shapes inspired by nature. Though considered a "simpler" pattern within the traditional category, its beauty lies in its subtlety and the unique variations crafted by different artists. No two plates are exactly alike, each bearing the distinct touch of the creator. This dessert plate is not just a dish but a testament to a rich cultural craft that has adorned homes and made dining tables across the globe more beautiful.

Beyond its stunning appearance, this Polish Pottery plate is designed for durability and versatility. Safe for use in the dishwasher, microwave, freezer, and oven (up to 425 degrees), it promises not only to beautify your table setting but to withstand the rigors of daily use. The materials used are high-quality, chip-resistant, and free of harmful substances like lead, nickel, and cadmium, ensuring that it is as safe as it is striking. Whether you're hosting a dinner party or enjoying a quiet meal at home, this plate from Manufaktura—the pioneering Polish pottery manufacturer since 1992—adds a touch of elegance and history to your culinary presentations.

Cleaning 

Polish Pottery is Dishwasher safe! Or, clean by hand using regular dish soap and scrub brush. 

Guidelines to keep your pottery in excellent condition:

You may safely use Polish pottery in the microwave and in a conventional oven at temperatures up to 425°F. We recommend you heat your stoneware up to temperature with the oven. Make sure to always cover the entire bottom of the dish when baking. For example, you don't want to put a single chicken breast in the center of a baker and leave the rest of the surface area uncovered, as the empty spots will heat at a different rate than those with food on them. Polish pottery does not like quick changes in temperature or uneven heat sources, and thermal shock WILL result in a broken dish.

Never place your pottery directly on a hot stovetop burner! 

While Polish pottery is extremely durable, it should not be taken directly from the freezer and placed into a hot oven. In addition, cold water or frozen food should not be placed in a hot piece of pottery. Always allow cooling or warming to room temperatures before heating in an oven or placing in a freezer. If taken care of properly, your Polish pottery can last for generations!
