Know before you buy
Yes, this plate is designed to be dishwasher safe. Bernardaud uses a high-firing process that ensures the 24k gold accents remain durable and vibrant even with regular cleaning.
The Constance salad plate measures 8.5 inches in diameter, making it the standard size for serving salads, appetizers, or desserts.
These plates are sold individually. This allows you to purchase exactly the number you need to build your collection or replace a single piece.
Because it is crafted from high-quality translucent porcelain, the plate feels remarkably lightweight and delicate to the touch, yet it maintains the structural integrity expected of fine French dinnerware.
As each piece is handcrafted by artisans in France, there may be subtle variations in the application of the watercolor motifs, which is a hallmark of authentic, high-end porcelain production.
