Pasabahce Glass Oval Serving Plate — 13 Inch Salad Dish

pasabahce glass oval serving plate — 13 inch salad dish

The 13-inch oval glass serving plate is the standard format for a shared salad or a medium-sized serving presentation — the piece that sits in the center of the table and holds the salad, the roasted vegetables, or the cold mezze that everyone reaches into throughout the meal. The oval shape handles a larger volume than a 13-inch round plate while maintaining the visual coherence of the spread.

Pasabahce glass clarity means the food is the visual subject — the plate provides the form without competing with the contents. A straightforward, well-made glass serving piece for everyday and hosting use.

Why We Selected This Piece

At Rootsware, we carry serving pieces because the Turkish and Middle Eastern table tradition is not just about the food — it is about how the food arrives. The tray that carries the tea service, the platter that presents the sweets, the footed stand that elevates the baklava: these are not accessories but the infrastructure of hospitality. We selected pieces that fit the actual serving formats of diaspora households — the right sizes for a 6-person tea service, the right platters for a proper mezze spread.

Care & Cleaning

• For metal trays and platters: wipe with a damp cloth. Mild soap for stubborn residue. Dry immediately to prevent water spotting on polished surfaces.
• For glass trays: hand-wash with mild soap and warm water. Do not use abrasive scrubbers on decorative glass surfaces — they scratch the print.
• For mirrored surfaces: clean with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid ammonia-based glass cleaners which can damage the mirror backing over time.
• For metal with gold or silver finish: polish occasionally with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive metal polishes on plated finishes.
• Store flat or upright — do not stack heavy items on top of glass pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the glass trays food safe?
Yes. The decorative glass trays are food safe — the print is on the underside of the glass and does not come into contact with food. The surface in contact with food is clear glass.

What size tray do I need for a 6-person tea service?
A round tray of 13–14 inches accommodates 6 tea glasses, a sugar bowl, and a small plate of sweets comfortably. Rectangular trays of 15–16 inches work well for passing service at the table.

Can I use the footed platters for hot food?
The mirrored and glass footed platters are for cold or room-temperature presentation — sweets, pastries, fruit. They are not designed for hot dishes directly from the oven.

Are these suitable for outdoor use?
Metal trays and platters are fine outdoors. Glass trays should be kept away from direct strong sunlight for extended periods, which can affect decorative finishes over time.

Do the serving pieces come as matched sets?
Some items in this collection are available as individual pieces, others as sets. For a coordinated table, browse the full serveware collection — multiple items share the same design family.
