Know before you buy
The Colette Color Lavande dessert plate measures 8.25 inches (209.55 mm) in diameter, making it the ideal size for serving cakes, tarts, or fruit.
Because this piece is hand-painted and crafted from fine porcelain, it is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand-washing with a soft cloth and mild soap to preserve the integrity of the Lavande color edge.
No, this plate is not microwave or oven safe. It is designed specifically for formal table service and presentation rather than heating or cooking.
Each plate is custom-produced in Limoges, France, specifically for your order. Because of this artisanal process, please account for an 8 to 12-week production and delivery window.
Due to the delicate nature of the fine porcelain and the upturned edge design, these plates are not intended to be stacked. We recommend using plate dividers or felt protectors if you need to store them together to prevent scratching.
