ZAIRE SQUARE PRINTED PLATTER

The Zaire Square Printed Platter is a handcrafted mango wood serving tray that brings warmth and character to your table. Seasoned Indian mango wood forms the foundation, while a hand-applied tourmaline print—sealed beneath layers of enamel and food-grade lacquer—creates a waterproof, elegant surface. At 11 x 11 inches, this wooden platter is perfectly sized for serving cheese, sushi, appetizers, or fruit at intimate gatherings. The square design lends a modern edge to traditional craft, making it as striking as a centerpiece as it is functional as a serveware piece. Use it to display candles, arrange festive décor, or simply elevate your everyday meals. Crafted by skilled Indian artisans, the Zaire platter makes a thoughtful housewarming gift or anniversary present—a piece that marries heritage with contemporary living. This is serveware that tells a story, one meal at a time.

Each Zaire platter begins with seasoned mango wood, carefully selected for its strength and grain. Indian craftsmen hand-cut and sand the square form, ensuring smooth edges and balanced proportions. The tourmaline print is applied by hand, then sealed with layers of enamel to lock in color and create a water-resistant finish. A final coat of food-grade lacquer gives the surface its gentle luster and durability. The entire process—from woodwork to printing to finishing—is carried out by artisan hands in small workshops across India, where traditional techniques meet modern design sensibilities.

Your Zaire platter is built to last with a little love. After each use, simply wipe it down with a soft, damp cloth and dry it thoroughly. For deeper cleaning, hand wash gently with mild soapy water, then dry immediately—never let it soak. The enamel finish protects the print, but harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners can dull its beauty. Keep it away from dishwashers, microwaves, and direct heat or sunlight to preserve the wood and finish for years to come.
