It also has antiseptic properties, preventing corrosion of the wood from which it is made and enhancing its antibacterial properties.
Natural lacquer is also characterized by a beautiful sheen that develops with use. You can enjoy the change over time and become attached to it as you use it for a long time.

Available in two sizes and six colors
The plates are available in two sizes, 21 cm and 24 cm in diameter, and can be selected according to the intended use. Because of the rim, the space for serving food is a little smaller, so we recommend choosing the 24cm size if you want to use it mainly as a serving dish for food. If you want to use it as a small plate, a serving plate, or a cake plate, choose the 21cm size.
It is available in six colors. Of the six colors, wood and matte black have a black center, while the other colors show the grain of the wood, giving them a different color scheme. It is recommended to have several pieces in different sizes and colors.
