What are Mud Australia platters made from?
Our handmade serving platters are made in our Sydney studio from high-quality porcelain clay sourced directly from Limoges, France.
Are Mud Australia ceramic platters dishwasher and microwave safe?
Our porcelain platters are food safe and can, with some care, be used in the oven, microwave and dishwasher.
In the dishwasher, make sure items are not touching. To avoid scratches on the glaze ideally your porcelain will either be stored in plate racks or use linen/felt between each item.
Sudden changes in temperature (eg. from freezer to oven / from oven to cold bench) is likely to cause thermal shock, which will damage your porcelain. Always put cold items onto wire racking when placing in a hot oven. Always place very hot items onto either wood or cloth.
What is unique about Mud Australia’s ceramic platters?
Mud Australia serving platters are proudly made in Sydney. Our pouring team is trained in-house and use a combination of experience and intuition to cast each piece. The beauty of our pieces can be attributed to the hand-made process and human touch.
Using porcelain clay sourced directly from Limoges, France, our 19 bespoke colors are mixed in-house. The pigment is tinted to the body at slip stage to provide color depth.
Clear glaze is applied to the interior of each platter, leaving the exterior with a vitrified stone-like surface that becomes smooth with handling.
