No, this plate is not microwave, oven, or freezer safe. Due to the delicate hand-painted finish, it should only be used for serving food at room temperature or warm temperatures.
Because of the intricate hand-painted design, this plate is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing with a soft cloth and mild detergent to preserve the integrity of the pattern.
