Know before you buy
This plate measures 12.5 inches in diameter, making it a substantial piece that works well as a buffet plate or a large statement dinner plate.
No, the New Moon Buffet Plate is not microwave or oven safe. It is designed specifically for serving and dining, and should not be used for heating or cooking food.
The plate is dishwasher safe, which makes cleanup straightforward. Because it is crafted from glazed premium porcelain, standard dishwasher cycles are perfectly fine for daily maintenance.
The plate is not designed to be stackable due to its unique crescent-inspired silhouette. You should plan for individual storage space rather than relying on a traditional vertical stack.
While the plate is made from high-quality premium porcelain, it is not specifically rated as chip-resistant. Like most fine porcelain, it should be handled with care to avoid impact against hard surfaces.
