Know before you buy
Due to the delicate nature of the handcrafted porcelain and the intricate airbrush detailing, this plate is not dishwasher, microwave, oven, or freezer safe. We recommend hand washing with a mild detergent to preserve the finish and vibrant colors.
While it is designed as a functional salad plate, its artisanal finish and lack of chip resistance make it better suited for formal occasions or special gatherings rather than everyday heavy use.
The plate measures 9.45 inches (239.98 mm) in diameter, which is a standard size for a salad course or a light lunch.
No, this piece is not designed to be stackable. To prevent scratching the surface or damaging the delicate airbrushed landscape detail, we recommend storing these plates individually or using protective felt dividers between them.
Because each plate is handcrafted in Italy, there may be slight variations in the application of the signature green hue and the blue landscape detail, making each piece unique.
