Blank slate" takes on a whole new meaning with these elegant yet practical pieces. The Boska Slate Board highlights whatever you choose to serve with its eye-catching sophistication.

Arrange hors d'oeuvres on its smooth black surface and the Boska Slate Board comes to life. Though intended for cheeses (the lovely stainless-steel Boska Cheese Knife helps fulfill that purpose), this board accommodates any appetizers – and even desserts. From charcuterie to tea sandwiches, most finger foods sit pretty atop the board's cool surface.

Clever features make for easy entertaining. Protective felt feet on the underside of each corner prevent the slate board from scratching surfaces, and the sturdy, hefty board creates a barrier between soft, runny cheeses and your table.

The board's surface holds three or four wedges of cheese comfortably, with space to jot the names of each type with chalk on the slate itself. When you reach the end of a long tea party or evening of entertaining, pop both the board and knife into the dishwasher; there's no need to wash them by hand.

The Boska Slate Board and Cheese Knife add a touch of class to any entertaining event. This set's simplicity and elegance reward the host or hostess who uses it – and your guests will notice. Once you see how gorgeous your food looks, you'll always want to plate with slate.
