Know before you buy
No, the Royal Check Dinner Plate is not microwave or oven safe. Due to the steel underbody, it should only be used for serving food at room temperature or chilled.
While these plates are technically dishwasher safe, we recommend hand-washing them with mild soap to preserve the hand-painted finish and the luster of the bronzed stainless steel rim.
Because each piece is artisan-made, there will be slight variations in the brushstrokes and color placement. This unique character is a hallmark of the MacKenzie-Childs process and ensures no two plates are identical.
No, these plates are not designed to be stacked. We recommend storing them individually or using plate protectors to prevent scratching the enamel surface or the bronzed rim.
These plates are designed for everyday dining. The heavy-gauge steel construction makes them quite durable, though you should handle them with care to avoid chipping the enamel glaze.
