This rectangle platter is great for serving and is glazed in our Sandy Shores pattern. It does go in the dishwasher, oven and while the materials we use can be microwaved, this piece is probably too large to fit in one. It is 12 inches in length and 9 inches in width. The colors of this glaze pattern remind me of when my parents took us to the beach in Panama City, Florida when my sister and I were young and we would look for shells in the white sand.
