Know before you buy
The charger plate is designed as a decorative base layer for your dinnerware. It is intended to sit beneath your main plate to add a layer of elegance and visual interest to your table setting.
The reactive finish is a specialized glazing process that creates subtle variations in texture and color. Because of this technique, each charger plate features a unique patina, meaning no two pieces are exactly identical.
Due to the fine earthenware construction and the delicate metallic accents—particularly the 24K gold and platinum finishes—we recommend hand washing these plates to preserve their luster and prevent damage to the glaze.
While they are crafted from fine earthenware, charger plates are primarily decorative. It is best to use them as a foundation for your dinner plates rather than placing food directly onto the surface.
To protect the reactive finish and metallic accents, we recommend storing the plates with soft felt dividers between them. This prevents the underside of one plate from scratching the decorative surface of the one below it.
