No, this piece is not dishwasher, microwave, oven, or freezer safe. We recommend hand washing it carefully to preserve the delicate floral pattern and green scroll rim.
The Nantes (2553) pattern features a distinct design of blue and green flowers with a green scroll rim. Please compare these details against your current pieces, as variations can sometimes occur in vintage china production.
While it is crafted from durable porcelain, the age of this retired pattern and its sensitivity to high heat mean it is best suited for special occasions or serving side dishes rather than heavy, everyday use.
This item does not include a lid and is not designed to be stackable. It is intended as a standalone serving piece for your table.
