What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly adore the Noritake Fitzgerald Dinner Plate, viewing it as a premium, heirloom quality staple for formal dining. The core appeal centers on its exquisite design, featuring brilliant white porcelain and elegant platinum banding, frequently described as stunning and timeless. Reviewers confirm the exceptional quality, appreciating the substantial weight and fine finish that upholds Noritake's reputation. The primary friction points involve care requirements; the metallic trim necessitates hand washing and prohibits microwave use, limiting its application to special occasions. While the high price point is noted, the profound satisfaction derived from owning this luxury piece maintains robustly positive overall sentiment.
Know before you buy
The plate measures 10 3/4 inches (273.05 mm) in diameter, which is a standard size for a formal dinner plate.
No, these plates are not microwave or dishwasher safe. Due to the delicate gold banding and fine bone china construction, we recommend hand washing them to preserve the finish.
While the plate is crafted from durable bone china, its formal aesthetic and gold detailing make it better suited for special occasions or elevated dining experiences rather than daily, heavy-duty use.
No, these plates are not designed to be stacked. We recommend using plate dividers or felt protectors between them if you plan to store them in a stack to prevent scratching the gold accents.
To maintain the integrity of the smooth and etched gold bands, always hand wash with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh cleaning agents that could dull or scratch the metallic finish.
