Materials
Hand-finished terracotta with a protective, high-gloss ink blue glaze.
Installation & Maintenance
Fill the main section with olives and utilize the integral holder for cocktail sticks. To preserve the artisan glaze and the integrity of the terracotta, this dish must be hand-washed only in warm soapy water. Avoid using abrasive sponges that could scratch the finish. It is essential to ensure the dish is thoroughly dried before storing it in a cupboard to prevent any potential moisture damage to the porous terracotta base.
Safety Warnings
Fragile: handle with care as terracotta is prone to chipping or cracking if dropped or knocked against hard surfaces. This product is not suitable for use in the microwave or dishwasher, as extreme heat and moisture can damage the hand-finished glaze. Inspect the dish regularly for any sharp edges or deep chips; if the structural integrity is compromised, discontinue use. Keep out of reach of small children, particularly when used with sharp olive sticks, and ensure it is placed on a stable surface to prevent tipping.
