This small teak hors d’oeuvre plate, with a delicate handle, is crafted for precise, elegant presentation of savory starters — the “outside the main work” that sets the tone for a meal. Its seamless design and balanced proportions allow each bite to be served with intention, turning simple appetizers into curated, refined courses. Handcrafted from durable teak, it develops a warm patina over time, built to endure years of elevated dining.

Sustainably grown in Thailand’s cooler northeastern highlands, this teak is naturally resilient, water- and pest-resistant, and prized for its dense, fine-grained quality — a premium timber that outlasts ordinary woods.

15.7cm (l) x 8cm (w) Dish

Hand wash your teak pieces with warm water and mild soap, then dry promptly with a soft cloth. Occasionally, apply a light coat of food-safe oil, such as coconut or olive oil, to nourish the timber, enhance its warm patina, and protect against moisture. With simple care, your teak will remain beautiful, functional, and cherished for generations.

The Enduring Elegance of Teak

Teak is a premium wood that carries time within it. Naturally rich in oils, it resists water, warping, and pests, yet grows warmer, softer, and more luminous with use. Its dense, golden grain deepens into a patina that tells a story of meals shared, hands at work, and moments savoured. Valued for centuries in boats, temples, and fine craftsmanship, teak is a material that blends resilience with quiet elegance—a wood that not only endures, but enriches the life it touches.
