Ginori 1735 Labirinto Oval Platter - Red

'Labirinto' is Italian for 'labyrinth' or 'maze', referring to the graphic pattern that defines the collection.

Yes, the porcelain itself is made from high-quality, food-safe Italian porcelain. The pattern is applied in a way that is safe for food contact when used as intended.

It is strongly recommended to hand wash these platters. Dishwasher detergents and the high heat can damage the metallic trims and potentially fade the pattern over time.

The product description mentions 'metallic trims,' but does not specify the exact metal composition. It is best to treat them as decorative metal accents requiring careful handling.

The 'Impero' shape refers to a classic porcelain design style inspired by 18th-century neoclassical aesthetics, known for its elegant lines and proportions.

Store them carefully in a cupboard or on a shelf, ensuring they do not bang against other hard objects. Using protective cloths or felt between platters if stacking can prevent scratches and chips.

No, this platter is not oven-safe. It is also not microwave-safe due to the metallic trims.

Gently polish the metallic trim with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn tarnish, use a specialized non-abrasive metal polish suitable for precious metals, applying sparingly with a soft cloth and buffing gently.

Minor surface scratches can sometimes be buffed out using a porcelain repair pen or a very mild, non-abrasive cleaner with a soft cloth. Deeper scratches may be permanent.

For small chips, a food-safe porcelain repair kit might be used, but this is generally not recommended for items intended for serving. It is best to use the chipped item for purely decorative purposes or display it with the chipped area less visible.

Ensure the platter is dried immediately and thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth after hand washing. If spots persist, try wiping with a cloth lightly dampened with distilled water.
