ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
Transform your table into a serene sanctuary with this handcrafted oval platter from the Sandalwood Collection. Each piece begins as a canvas of clay gray stoneware, carefully hand-cut and pressed with real fern leaves to capture nature's delicate patterns. The artisan stamps and glazes each platter by hand, creating subtle texture variations that make every piece truly one of a kind.
The salt white glaze develops warm beige undertones where it meets the textured surface, creating an organic interplay of light and shadow. This meditative piece measures approximately 17-18 inches long, making it perfect for serving seasonal spreads or displaying treasured objects. The gentle, earthy aesthetic pairs beautifully with other artisan collections for a curated, conscious home.
Crafted for those who value slow living and authentic beauty, this platter brings mindful intention to everyday moments. The maker recommends hand washing to preserve its handcrafted integrity, ensuring this functional art piece becomes a cherished part of your home story.

In an old automobile factory west of Cleveland, an artisan transforms raw clay into treasured pieces for the home. Since 1999, the maker has devoted herself to the ancient craft of ceramics, earning recognition in boutiques and catalogs across the country while staying true to hands-on creation.
Every piece begins in the maker's hands, shaped on the wheel and guided through each stage of the process. A dedicated team helps with trimming, glazing, and firing, but the heart of each creation flows from the lead artisan's vision and skill. Together, they've built something rare in our modern world: a truly handmade operation where creativity meets craftsmanship.
The maker dreams of creating heirloom pieces that find their way into homes and hearts for generations. Each piece carries this intention, offering not just function but connection to the timeless tradition of working with clay, fire, and human hands.
