Know before you buy
This plate is specifically designed as a bread and butter plate. With a 6.25-inch diameter, it is perfectly sized for a side roll or butter service at a formal table setting.
Because of the delicate hand-painted finish, this plate is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing with a soft cloth and mild detergent to preserve the integrity of the Ardoise color accent.
No, this plate is not microwave or oven safe. It is intended for formal dining service rather than food preparation or reheating.
The upturned edge provides a distinct, sculptural silhouette that frames your bread service elegantly. This design detail adds depth to the plate's profile and creates a more refined look compared to a standard flat rim.
No, this piece is not designed to be stackable. Due to the hand-painted craftsmanship and the specific shape of the upturned rim, we recommend storing these plates individually or with protective felt liners between them to prevent scratching.
