Know before you buy
Because of the delicate nature of the porcelain and the historical design, this plate is not dishwasher, microwave, or oven safe. We recommend hand washing with mild soap to preserve the integrity of the blue lattice pattern and landscape details.
While the plate is crafted from durable porcelain, it is not chip-resistant. It is perfectly suitable for everyday dining if you are comfortable with careful handling, though it is most commonly reserved for formal occasions.
The Blue Canton dinner plate measures 10 inches in diameter, which is the standard size for a primary dinner plate.
These plates are not designed to be stackable. To prevent scratching or damage to the decorative landscape scenes and lattice borders, we recommend storing them individually or using plate dividers.
This piece features a traditional rimmed edge, which provides a classic look and makes the plate easier to carry when serving.
