A set of 2 handmade solid beech wood plates, crafted to bring the warmth and authenticity of natural wood to your table. Their rectangular shape, rounded corners and gently recessed surface make them especially suitable for serving polenta, as well as appetizers, cheeses, cured meats and other dishes. Each plate measures 30 × 18 cm (11.8 × 7.1 in) and is 2.5 cm (1 in) high, offering a practical and versatile size for everyday dining and special occasions. The handcrafted finish enhances the natural grain and warm shades of beech wood, making every piece slightly different. A beautiful choice for rustic or contemporary tables and an original handmade Italian gift for those who appreciate authentic craftsmanship.

The Story Behind the Product

Some objects have the ability to bring back the warmth of traditional dining, when natural wood was part of everyday life and accompanied simple, authentic recipes shared around the table.

This set was created with that spirit in mind: two solid wood plates combining tradition, functionality and Italian craftsmanship.

Their shape makes them particularly suitable for serving polenta, while their versatile design allows them to be used for many other dishes.

Each piece is handcrafted in our workshop in Spello, Umbria, where we work with wood while respecting its natural grain, shades and individual characteristics.

Material

The plates are made from solid beech wood, appreciated for its warm, light colour and delicate, harmonious grain.

Using solid wood gives each plate a natural feel, pleasant texture and distinctive appearance that cannot be reproduced by synthetic or industrial materials.

Natural variations in grain, colour and tone are part of the beauty of real wood and make every set slightly different and unique.

Handmade Craftsmanship

Each plate is carefully shaped to create its characteristic rectangular design with soft corners and rounded edges.

The inner surface is gently recessed, creating a practical serving area while maintaining the natural beauty of the wood.

Careful sanding gives the surface a smooth, pleasant feel and highlights the grain of the beech wood.

Because this is a handcrafted product made from natural material, small variations in grain and colour should be considered unique characteristics rather than imperfections.

How to Use It

This set is particularly suitable for serving traditional polenta, creating a warm and distinctive presentation at the table.

Thanks to their 30 × 18 cm size, the plates can also be used as individual serving trays for appetizers, cheeses, cured meats, bread, bruschetta and other dishes.

Their simple yet elegant design makes them suitable for everyday meals as well as special occasions.

When not in use, they can also be displayed in the kitchen or dining area as decorative wooden accessories.

Why Choose This Product

Its versatile shape makes it suitable for traditional dishes such as polenta as well as creative presentations of appetizers and other foods.

Sold as a set of 2 plates, it is also an original gift idea for anyone who loves cooking, traditional Italian food, natural materials and handcrafted home accessories.

How to Care for It

To preserve the natural beauty of the wood over time, we recommend washing the plates by hand using a soft, slightly damp cloth or sponge.

Do not wash them in the dishwasher and avoid soaking them in water for long periods. Keep away from direct heat sources and dry thoroughly after cleaning, allowing the wood to finish drying naturally in a well-ventilated area.

Over time, natural wood may slightly change in colour and tone. This is a normal characteristic of an authentic, living material and contributes to the unique beauty of each piece.

From Our Workshop to Your Home

Each set is created in our woodworking workshop in Spello, in the heart of Umbria, Italy, where our family has been working with wood for five generations.

From selecting the material to shaping, sanding and finishing, every stage is carried out with attention to detail and respect for traditional craftsmanship.

The result is more than a practical object for your table: it is a small piece of Italian craftsmanship designed to be used, enjoyed and shared for years to come.
