Know before you buy
No, these plates are not microwave-safe. The presence of hand-painted gold and platinum accents makes them unsuitable for microwave use, as metal can spark and damage the finish.
While the manufacturer suggests limiting dishwasher use, we recommend hand washing these plates to preserve the integrity of the delicate hand-painted gold and platinum details.
This plate has a capacity of 18.2 ounces, making it well-suited for serving standard portions of soup, stews, or pasta.
The design uses intricate layering and color depth to create a sense of movement, making the butterflies appear as if they are lifting off the surface of the porcelain.
Due to the fine porcelain construction and the delicate nature of the hand-painted metallic accents, this piece is best reserved for formal occasions rather than daily wear and tear.
