Know before you buy
This is designed specifically as a 12-inch charger plate. It serves as a decorative base layer for your dinnerware rather than a primary plate for serving food.
Yes, the plate is food-safe and lead-free. While it is primarily used as a charger, you can safely place food directly on the surface if desired.
Because of the 22-karat gold detailing, we recommend hand-washing this plate with a mild detergent. Avoid using the dishwasher, as the high heat and harsh detergents can damage the delicate gold finish over time.
The 22-karat gold is hand-painted and high-quality, but it requires gentle care to maintain its luster. Avoid using abrasive sponges or cleaners that could scratch or dull the metallic finish.
Absolutely. The black colorway and traditional teardrop border are designed to be versatile, making it an excellent piece for mixing and matching with both solid-colored dinnerware and more intricate, patterned collections.
