Know before you buy
While the piece is designed as a serving server, it is crafted from ceramic and features delicate decorative trims like lace and jewels. We recommend placing a food-safe doily or parchment paper on the tiers before adding desserts to maintain the integrity of the finish.
This piece is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the intricate details and hand-painted finish, gently wipe the ceramic tiers with a soft, damp cloth and avoid using harsh cleaning agents or submerging the figure in water.
No, the Joyeux Grande Dame Server arrives fully assembled and ready to display. You can place it directly on your table as a centerpiece immediately after unboxing.
This item is designed exclusively for indoor use. Exposure to outdoor elements, moisture, or direct sunlight may damage the delicate materials, ribbons, and jeweled accents.
The server is primarily designed as a decorative centerpiece rather than a heavy-duty serving platter. It is best suited for light pastries, cookies, or small holiday treats rather than heavy cakes or dense desserts.
Yes, the server features a sturdy pedestal base designed to support the weight of the piece and its contents. However, given its height of 23 inches, it should be placed on a level, stable surface to prevent tipping.
