About this product
A sculpted red lobster stretches across the green leaf form of this large appetizer plate. Its raised details make the plate read as a small piece of table sculpture, with a serving surface suited to a carefully arranged selection of bites.
“I would arrange the food around the lobster rather than over it; the modeler has already given the plate a composition.”
-Mrs. Mayfair

Care & Ownership
Dishwasher safe; remove promptly when the cycle ends and dry thoroughly. Hand washing with mild soap and warm water is a gentle choice for raised details. Microwave use is limited to reheating; never heat an empty piece, and use an oven mitt when removing it. Do not use in a conventional oven. Avoid sudden temperature changes, prolonged soaking and abrasive cleaners. Store completely dry, with a soft layer between stacked pieces.
Maker / Heritage
Founded in 1884 in Caldas da Rainha, Bordallo Pinheiro carries forward Raphael Bordallo Pinheiro’s mixture of natural observation and humor. Specialists in modeling, painting, sculpture and ornament give the earthenware its unusually expressive surfaces. Original models by Raphael and his son Manuel Gustavo remain part of the factory’s artistic legacy, alongside new collections and collaborations. In the Cabbage pattern, an ordinary vegetable becomes the subject of the same careful attention usually reserved for a flower.
