Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a lobster platter and a regular serving platter?
The lobster platter has an elongated, organic shape that follows the lobster’s anatomy – with relief of claws and shell. This makes it easier to arrange elongated dishes like shellfish, asparagus, or tapas. A regular platter is typically round or square without relief.
Is the Kersten lobster platter dishwasher safe?
No, the platter should be hand washed. The dishwasher can wear down the hand-painted glaze and fade the colors over time. Use lukewarm water and mild detergent.
Can I serve hot dishes on the ceramic lobster platter?
Yes, the stoneware can handle heat from, for example, steamed shrimp or grilled vegetables. However, avoid placing the platter directly from the fridge into a hot oven – sudden temperature changes can damage the ceramic.
Is a lobster platter a good hostess gift for summer garden parties?
Yes, especially if the host enjoys shellfish, tapas, or maritime decor. The platter is practical for summer meals and has a playful expression that sparks conversation. It’s a unique alternative to standard wine or chocolates.
Why is Kersten ceramic hand-painted?
Kersten uses hand-painted glazes to create depth and variation in the colors. This means each platter has subtle unique shades – no two are exactly alike. The technique gives a handcrafted feel rather than industrial uniformity.

Handmade & unique product
Most of my products are handmade or hand-painted. This means that there may be variations in color, finish, and minor imperfections. These variations are a natural part of the handmade look and make each product unique. Minor differences are therefore not considered defects.
