Know before you buy

No, these plates are not microwave, oven, freezer, or dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the Imperial Blue pattern, we recommend hand washing only.
These plates are not designed to be stackable. We recommend using plate dividers or felt protectors if you plan to store them in a stack to prevent potential scratching or chipping.
While the porcelain is elegant, it is not chip-resistant and is specifically intended for formal dining occasions rather than heavy, everyday use.
This piece is sized perfectly for serving individual salad courses or desserts. Its dimensions make it a versatile addition to a formal dinnerware collection.
