Reviewers consistently describe the plates as works of art that instantly elevate any dining experience.

Buyers feel these pieces are an investment in functional art.

Know before you buy
No, these plates are not microwave or dishwasher safe. Due to the hand-painted 24K gold and platinum detailing, they must be hand-washed to preserve the integrity of the finish.
The plate measures 10.2 inches, or approximately 259.08 mm, in diameter.
These plates are not designed to be stackable. To prevent scratching the delicate hand-painted gold and platinum borders, we recommend storing them individually or using protective felt dividers.
While the porcelain is high-quality and durable, the plate is not chip-resistant. It is intended as a refined centerpiece for special occasions rather than for heavy-duty, everyday use.
The plate features a glossy finish with three-dimensional visual effects created by the intricate butterfly artwork. While the design looks deep and layered, the surface itself remains smooth to the touch.
