The platter measures 18 x 13 cm and is made of Italian earthenware, with each piece hand-painted. This means the color tones naturally vary from platter to platter — no two are exactly alike. The lemon motif is painted with visible brushstrokes, giving a crafted finish. Caja Company collaborates with small ceramic workshops in Italy where traditional techniques are preserved.
Care and maintenance
Hand washing is recommended to preserve the hand-painted surface for as long as possible. Avoid harsh detergents and abrasive sponges.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between earthenware and stoneware for serving platters?
Earthenware is fired at a lower temperature than stoneware, resulting in a lighter and more porous ceramic. This makes earthenware suitable for decorative platters and lighter servings, while stoneware is more durable for everyday use. Earthenware typically has a glaze that gives it a glossy finish.
Can the lemon appetizer platter handle warm dishes?
The platter can be used for warm dishes, but avoid placing it directly from the oven to the table, as sudden temperature changes can damage the earthenware. Let the dish cool slightly first.
How many olives can the platter hold?
With dimensions of 18 x 13 cm, the platter can hold approximately 150-200 grams of olives, enough for 2-3 people for tapas or aperitivo.
Is a hand-painted lemon platter a good hostess gift?
Yes, it’s a popular hostess gift for summer dinners, garden parties, or as a thank you for an invitation. It’s practical, personal due to the hand-painted finish, and suits most kitchens. Pair it nicely with a bottle of limoncello or fresh lemons.
Why do colors vary on hand-painted platters?
When earthenware is hand-painted, the glaze is applied with a brush by a ceramic artist. The pressure of the brushstroke, glaze thickness, and firing temperature create natural variations in color intensity and distribution. This is a hallmark of genuine craftsmanship.

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.
