Know before you buy
Because this plate features delicate hand-painted artistry, it is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand-washing each piece gently with a soft cloth and mild detergent to preserve the integrity of the design.
No, this plate is not suitable for use in the microwave, oven, or freezer. It is designed specifically for formal dining and presentation rather than food preparation or reheating.
While crafted from high-quality Limoges porcelain, this plate is intended for formal occasions rather than daily use. Its bespoke, hand-painted finish requires careful handling to maintain its appearance over time.
No, these plates are not designed to be stacked. To prevent scratching or damaging the hand-painted surface, we recommend using plate dividers or felt protectors if you need to store them together.
Because every plate is individually hand-painted in Limoges, France, there may be subtle variations in the pattern. These slight differences are a hallmark of the artisanal process and ensure that each piece is a unique work of art.
