Know before you buy
At 6.25 inches in diameter, this plate is specifically designed as a bread and butter plate. It is perfectly sized for a single dinner roll or a small portion of butter, making it an essential component for a formal place setting.
No, these plates are not dishwasher, microwave, oven, or freezer safe. Due to the delicate hand-painted craftsmanship, we recommend hand washing them gently to preserve the finish and detail.
Because each piece is individually hand-painted in Limoges upon order, you should account for an 8 to 12-week production window. We recommend ordering your full set at once to ensure consistency across the hand-painted details.
While crafted from durable porcelain, this is a formal piece intended for special occasions rather than heavy daily use. It is not chip-resistant, so it should be handled with care and stored individually rather than stacked.
Yes, the refined banded detailing of the Lexington collection is designed to be versatile. Its classic aesthetic allows it to complement a wide range of interior styles, from traditional formal dining rooms to more contemporary table settings.
