Hello. This dish was inspired by my wife's love to host people at our house. I adapted the glass cover to keep insects out and cheese fresh. The green plate is marble to withstand cutting of hard or soft cheeses or whatever snack works best for you. I turned this dish on my lathe and covered it with a food safe clear coating. It is a very elegant addition to your hosting ware, or just for snacking with a loved one. I will have more of these on here soon. Thanks for looking!!
