Know before you buy
Yes, despite the delicate appearance and 24k gold detailing, this plate is dishwasher safe. We recommend using a gentle cycle and a mild detergent to preserve the finish over time.
Translucency is a hallmark of high-quality, fine porcelain. It means that when held up to the light, the material allows a soft glow to pass through, indicating a thinner, more refined construction than standard ceramic dinnerware.
The Bernardaud Constance dinner plates are sold individually. This allows you to purchase exactly the number you need for your table setting or to mix and match with other patterns.
While the plate is dishwasher safe, avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh scouring pads, as these can scratch the gold detailing. For the best results, hand washing with a soft cloth is the safest way to maintain the luster of the gold.
While the motifs are inspired by the historical Empire style, the watercolor aesthetic gives the Constance plate a sophisticated, artistic quality that works beautifully in both traditional and eclectic modern settings. It serves as a striking focal point when paired with minimalist, solid-colored dinnerware.
