Know before you buy
Because of the delicate 24-karat gold rim and high-definition decoration, this plate is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand-washing it gently with a soft sponge and mild soap to preserve the finish.
No, this plate is not suitable for use in the microwave or oven. The metallic gold detailing and the nature of the Limoges porcelain require that it be kept away from high heat sources.
Since these plates are not designed to be stackable, we recommend storing them individually or using protective felt dividers between each piece to prevent scratching the gold-plated rims.
While the Limoges porcelain is of the highest quality, this piece is intended for formal dining rather than heavy daily use. It is not chip-resistant, so it should be handled with care during serving and cleaning.
The plate measures 8.9 inches in diameter, making it a standard size for serving soups, stews, or pasta dishes in a formal table setting.
