Know before you buy
While the set is crafted from durable fine porcelain and is dishwasher safe, its intricate 22k gold detailing makes it better suited for special occasions or formal dining to preserve the finish over time.
Yes, this specific pattern is not lead-free. It is designed primarily for decorative and formal dining purposes.
Although the set is dishwasher safe, we recommend hand-washing with a mild detergent. This practice helps prevent the 22k gold flecks and vibrant fruit motifs from fading or wearing down over years of use.

No, this dinnerware is not microwave safe due to the 22k gold flecks used in the detailing. Metal accents can cause arcing and damage both the dish and your appliance.
