Know before you buy
This dinner plate measures 10 inches (254 mm) in diameter, which is a standard size for serving main courses.
No, this plate is not dishwasher or microwave safe. Due to the delicate gold detailing and fine bone china construction, it should be hand-washed only to preserve the finish.
The gold borders are applied with high-quality craftsmanship, but because they are decorative, they require gentle care. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh detergents to ensure the diamond motifs remain intact over time.
The scalloped rim adds a textured, elegant profile to the plate, but it does mean the piece is not designed to be stacked. We recommend using plate dividers or felt protectors if you plan to store them in a stack to prevent scratching the gold detailing.
While the bone china is durable, the intricate gold design and formal aesthetic make this piece better suited for special occasions and dinner parties rather than daily heavy-duty use.
