Nambe 9 Inch Square Serving Platter, Tarnish Resist Alloy Metal

Be practical and stylish at the same time with any of our generously sized Square Platters. Made from our remarkable thermal-retentive signature metal, these platters (or plates in the 9 x 9 size) are great for both cold and hot foods. For cold foods, chill the metal in the freezer and then bring it right to the table; for hot foods, warm in the oven first. And here's yet another reason to consider the Square Platter: it was the first piece recognized by New York's Museum of Modern Art and it is now in their permanent collection. Nambé's square metal plate was the first Nambé item to be recognized by the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and is now in the museum's permanent collection. Designed by sculptor Richard K. Thomas, who also designed Nambé's iconic Butterfly and Tri-Corner bowls, the square plate is a true contemporary classic. With its rounded corners and slight rim, the nine-inch plate makes an excellent small serving platter for appetizers, and serves as an individual plate for a sandwich, side salad, or dessert. The durable metal is safe for chilling in a freezer or warming in an oven before use, and retains its temperature for quite some time. While the gleaming metal will not tarnish, chip, or crack, the plate may not be used in a microwave or dishwasher. Washing by hand preserves the mirror finish. Nambé was founded in 1951 in a village of the same name in scenic northern New Mexico. From the beginning, the company focused on hand-producing high-quality, functional metal items such as bowls and trays with great attention to timeless, modern design.
