Italian Sunflower 14" Platter
This bright and colorful hand painted 14" ceramic platter is made in a small family factory near Assisi in the Umbria region of Italy. The factory uses a special process that fires each piece one additional time (for a total of three firings instead of the usual two) with a clear coat glaze to give it an extra shiny finish.  Also, this piece has a unique, variegated texture, which provides lovely, colorful reflections.  This platter can be used for display or decorative purposes (there are holes on the back for hanging).

Hanging Wall Plates: Want to use this hand painted decorative ceramic plate as a hanging wall plate? It’s easy! There is a pre-drilled hole in the back through which you can thread a piece of sturdy wire, twist it to make a loop, and then just hook it onto a nail or screw that has been securely mounted in the wall. (Be sure to find a stud or use a wall anchor to support heavy pieces.)

Serving/Dishwasher Information: All pieces in our Italian offerings are hand painted and lead-free. This item is food and dishwasher safe, however we recommend using low heat if you place it in the dishwasher to prevent small cracks from forming in the glaze. The best idea is to hand wash this piece. Please note that none of our hand painted ceramics can be placed in the oven or otherwise used for cooking!
