Know before you buy
This plate is a reproduction of designs from Longton Hall, England's first porcelain factory, which operated between 1754 and 1757. The signature lacy pierced border is modeled after traditional silver plate relief patterns from that era.
The plate measures 11 inches in diameter. Its size and shallow, decorative design make it ideal for serving cookies, pastries, or small desserts.
Yes, it is crafted from durable porcelain with a glazed finish. While it features delicate-looking pierced detailing, it is designed to be a functional serving piece for your table.
To preserve the glazed finish and the integrity of the pierced border, we recommend hand washing with mild soap. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the surface.
The pierced border is purely decorative and does not compromise the structural integrity of the plate. The center remains a solid, flat surface, providing a stable base for your food.
