Know before you buy
Yes, these plates are designed for modern convenience and are both dishwasher and microwave safe. However, they are not oven safe, so you should avoid using them for heating or cooking in an oven.
No, the hand-thrown nature of these pieces means each plate will have slight variations and unique character. You should expect minor imperfections that reflect the artisanal craftsmanship of the English porcelain.
The dinner plates measure 11 inches in diameter, while the salad plates are 8-1/2 inches in diameter. This sizing is standard for formal place settings.
Absolutely. The bold skull design and black rim banding make these excellent accent pieces. They pair well with solid black or white dinnerware if you want to incorporate a gothic touch without replacing your entire set.
These plates are crafted in England using fine English porcelain pottery, adhering to the traditional quality standards associated with Royal Stafford.
