Product Information
Full details
The Ichendorf Milano Animal Farm Snail Dome is designed for design enthusiasts and hosts looking to add a whimsical, artistic flair to their serving collection. Its primary benefit is the combination of functional food preservation with high-end, hand-crafted aesthetic appeal. One caveat to consider is that while the borosilicate glass is durable, it requires careful handling due to the intricate lamp-molded snail detail, and it is limited to low-temperature dishwasher cycles.

FAQs
Is this dome suitable for hot food?
While borosilicate glass is heat resistant, this item is primarily designed for serving cakes, pastries, and cheese at room or refrigerated temperatures.
Can I put this in the freezer?
It is not recommended to subject the glass to extreme rapid temperature changes, such as moving it directly from a freezer to a hot environment.
What is the diameter of the dome?
The dome measures 20 cm in diameter.
Is the snail figurine fragile?
The snail is lamp-molded glass and is part of the structure; while durable, it should be handled with care to avoid accidental impact.
Can I use abrasive cleaners on the snail?
No, avoid abrasive scrubbers as they can scratch the glass surface and dull the colors of the lamp-molded figurine.
Who designed this product?
This dome was designed by Alessandra Baldereschi for the Ichendorf Milano brand.
Troubleshooting
The dome does not seem to create an airtight seal.
Ensure that the rim of the dish and the bottom of the dome are free of crumbs or debris, which can prevent a flush fit.
Water spots or streaks visible on the glass.
Hand-wash with a gentle detergent and immediately buff with a lint-free microfiber cloth to restore clarity.
Glass feels cloudy after dishwasher use.
Verify that your dishwasher water temperature did not exceed 40 degrees Celsius; consider switching to hand-washing to avoid mineral buildup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the dome is straightforward: ensure both the dish base and the inner rim of the dome are clean before placing your food item. Because the lid is hand-blown and molded, avoid dropping it or tapping it against hard marble or granite countertops. For cleaning, the dome is dishwasher safe, but you must ensure your machine is set to a low-temperature cycle, not exceeding 40 degrees Celsius. To maintain the glass clarity and the vibrancy of the colored snail, hand-washing with mild dish soap and a soft cloth is recommended for long-term care. Do not use abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals that could scratch the surface of the lamp-molded details.
