Know before you buy

Because this piece features delicate 22k gold detailing, we recommend hand washing with a mild detergent and a soft cloth to preserve the finish and the vibrancy of the 27-color pattern.

The pattern is meticulously crafted using 27 distinct colors to replicate the intricate 18th-century Chinese export design, resulting in a high-quality, vibrant finish on the porcelain.
