Product Information

Full details

The HAY Barro Plate Set is designed for those who appreciate the warmth and natural beauty of terracotta in their tableware. Its key benefit is adding a touch of rustic elegance and artisanal craftsmanship to any dining occasion, from everyday meals to special gatherings. A minor caveat is that as terracotta is a natural material, variations in color and texture are inherent and should be expected. This set of two plates, designed by Rui Pereira, features a low, scooped shape with a rolled-edge detail and a soft-touch finish, crafted from durable, high-quality terracotta in Portugal. Available in a rich burgundy hue, these plates offer both aesthetic appeal and functional stability, making them a versatile addition to your kitchen and tableware collection.

FAQs

What material are the HAY Barro plates made of?

The HAY Barro plates are crafted from high-quality, durable terracotta.

Are these plates dishwasher safe?

While they can often be washed in a dishwasher, hand washing with mild soap and warm water is highly recommended to preserve the glaze and prolong the life of the plates.

Can I use these plates in the microwave?

No, these terracotta plates are not suitable for microwave use due to the nature of the material.

What are the dimensions of the plates?

The HAY Barro Plate Set includes small plates with a diameter of 18cm.

How many plates are included in a set?

Each HAY Barro Plate Set includes two plates.

Will the color be exactly as pictured?

Terracotta is a natural material, and slight variations in color and texture are to be expected. These natural variations contribute to the unique character of each plate.

Are these plates suitable for oven use?

These plates are not designed for oven use. They are intended for serving food at room temperature or holding warm dishes for a short period.

Troubleshooting

Plate has a slight chip on the edge.

Inspect the chip. Minor chips may not affect usability, but if significant, consider using the plate for non-food items or decorative purposes. Contact customer support if the damage is severe or occurred during shipping.

Color variations or small imperfections on the surface.

These are natural characteristics of terracotta and handmade products. They do not typically affect the functionality or safety of the plate. Embrace these unique features as part of the artisanal charm.

Food seems to stain the plate after serving.

Ensure the plate was thoroughly dried after washing. For stubborn stains, a paste of baking soda and water can sometimes be gently used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying. Always ensure the plate is fully dry after use.

Plate feels rough or porous.

The natural texture of terracotta is part of its appeal. If excessive roughness is noted, ensure it has been properly glazed and dried. If the issue persists and seems like a defect, contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The HAY Barro plates require no assembly or setup; they are ready for use straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: These plates are designed for serving food and general dining. However, due to the terracotta material, they are not suitable for microwave use. They are generally compatible with most standard dishwashers, but hand washing is recommended to prolong their lifespan and maintain the integrity of the glaze.

Care Instructions:

Hand Wash Recommended: Wash the plates with warm water and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the glaze.
Drying: Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth after washing to prevent water spots.
Avoid Extreme Temperature Changes: Do not subject the plates to sudden or extreme temperature changes, as this can cause cracking.
No Microwave Use: Never place these plates in a microwave oven.
Glaze Maintenance: While durable, the high-gloss glaze can be susceptible to scratching over time with frequent dishwasher use.
