Handcrafted Chip & Dip Platters Made in Texas
Finding the right serving piece can transform any gathering, and our handcrafted chip & dip platters are designed to do exactly that. Each platter is wheel-thrown with care, shaped for both beauty and practical use, and finished with durable glazes you’ll love showing off. The built-in center bowl keeps dips, salsas, sauces, or spreads neatly contained, making it easier to serve guests without extra dishes. Whether you’re hosting a family dinner, a game-day party, or a casual get-together with friends, these chip & dip platters elevate the experience while offering the reliability of everyday pottery. Made right here in Texas, each one is slightly unique — a functional piece of art you’ll enjoy using again and again.
Features & Craftsmanship
These chip & dip platters begin at the pottery wheel, where the form is shaped by hand using quality stoneware clay. The center dip bowl is built directly into the platter, creating a seamless and sturdy design that won’t shift or detach with use. After drying and trimming, each platter is bisque-fired, hand-glazed, and fired again to more than 2,200 degrees. These high-temperature firings strengthen the clay body, making the platter safe for everyday use and resistant to thermal shock.
Multiple glaze options are available, allowing you to choose a color that complements your kitchen or your personal style. Because each platter is handmade, slight variations in color, size, and surface texture naturally occur — and that’s part of what makes handmade pottery so special. No two pieces are ever identical, but each one meets the same high standard of durability and craftsmanship.
Why These Chip & Dip Platters Stand Out
These chip & dip platters are made in Texas by an artisan potter who understands the balance between form and function. The generous surface area holds chips, vegetables, crackers, breads, or snacks, while the built-in bowl provides the perfect space for dips, salsa, queso, hummus, or dressings. This all-in-one design reduces the need for multiple dishes and is perfect for hosting.
Your platter arrives food-safe, lead-free, and finished with high-quality glazes that stand up to daily use. They’re also dishwasher safe and microwave safe, making them easy to clean and convenient for reheating dips. Customers also love that these pieces make memorable gifts—especially because you can request custom glaze colors to match a kitchen, wedding palette, or holiday theme.
Popular Uses
Chip & dip platters are a favorite for entertaining, but they’re also incredibly versatile. Many customers use them for taco nights, movie snacks, veggie trays, charcuterie-style spreads, holiday gatherings, and potlucks. The center bowl works well for hot or cold dips, and the wide rim layout keeps food organized and easy to access.
Because these platters are beautiful display pieces, they also make thoughtful gifts for housewarmings, weddings, anniversaries, or Christmas. Their blend of visual appeal and everyday practicality makes them a standout choice no matter the occasion.
Care Instructions
Your platter is made from high-fire stoneware, making it durable and built for real use. It is fully dishwasher safe, microwave safe, and food-safe. Like all handmade pottery, avoid sudden extreme temperature changes when possible (for example, moving directly from the freezer to a hot oven). With normal care, your platter will last for many years and continue to perform beautifully.
Ordering & Customization Options
You can choose from the available glaze colors shown on the product page or request a custom color if you have a specific palette in mind. Since each platter is made by hand, slight variations in size and glaze pattern add to its character. If you request a custom glaze, please allow additional time for creation and firing. Every piece is crafted with attention to detail, ensuring you receive a unique, high-quality platter that’s both functional and beautiful. Pair your chip & dip with a set of custom branded mugs for entertaining.
