Know before you buy
Each set includes one dinner plate (10.5"), one dessert plate (8.25"), one bread and butter plate (6"), one teacup, and one matching saucer (6").
No, this set is not microwave or oven safe. Because the pieces feature genuine 24k gold accents, they should never be placed in these appliances.
Yes, the porcelain is dishwasher safe. However, we recommend hand drying the pieces immediately after the cycle to protect the integrity of the hand-painted finish and the gold detailing.
Yes. Because each piece is meticulously hand-painted, there may be slight variations in the pattern, which is a hallmark of authentic Herend craftsmanship.
No, this is fine porcelain and is not specifically treated to be chip-resistant. It requires careful handling, similar to other high-end, delicate dinnerware collections.
While the set is food-safe and durable enough for regular dining, its delicate hand-painted finish and gold accents are best preserved when used for special occasions or handled with extra care during daily use.
