Yes, the plate is crafted from fine porcelain and is food-safe for daily use. However, because of the delicate matt platinum finish, we recommend hand washing to maintain the integrity and luster of the pattern over time.
With an interior diameter of 8.5 inches, it is perfectly sized for standard dinner portions. Its generous 12.4-inch total diameter also makes it an excellent choice for use as a charger or a statement serving piece.
The design is inspired by Art Nouveau architecture, specifically the flowing, organic lines of Hector Guimard’s Parisian metro entrances. It features subtle, intricate arabesques that provide a sophisticated, historical touch to a modern table setting.
Due to the metallic matt platinum finish, this plate is not microwave safe. We strongly advise against using a dishwasher, as the heat and harsh detergents can damage the platinum detailing.
