Many use these plates for special occasions or display, as they elevate any table setting and spark conversation. The design perfectly captures whimsical luxury.

Know before you buy
No, these plates are not microwave safe. The presence of hand-painted 24K gold and platinum borders makes them unsuitable for microwave use.
Due to the delicate hand-painted gold and platinum detailing, we recommend hand-washing these plates to preserve the integrity and luster of the metallic finishes.
The Butterfly Parade collection is designed for mixing and matching. They work beautifully as a statement piece against solid-colored dinnerware or paired with other patterns from the same collection to create a bold, maximalist table setting.
Each plate measures 7.8 inches in diameter with a height of 0.8 inches, making them perfectly sized for salads, appetizers, or desserts.
The pattern features a sophisticated three-dimensional visual effect, giving the butterflies a sense of depth and movement that stands out against the fine porcelain base.
