Know before you buy
The plate measures 9 inches (228.6 mm) in diameter, making it perfectly sized for salads, appetizers, or dessert courses.
Due to the delicate gold and silver detailing on the rim, we recommend hand washing this plate to preserve the finish and prevent fading or scratching over time.
No, this plate is not microwave safe. The metallic accents in the rim can cause sparking and damage if exposed to microwave radiation.
The Forum Torres design is intended to be layered with other pieces. Its bold, artistic pattern works best when paired with solid-colored dinner plates or other items from the Christian Lacroix collection to create a curated, eclectic look.
This plate is crafted from high-quality, durable porcelain in Portugal, ensuring a refined feel and long-lasting strength suitable for formal dining.
