Know before you buy
This plate is crafted from faience, a type of fine, tin-glazed earthenware known for its smooth, opaque finish and ability to hold intricate sculpted details.
No, this piece is not dishwasher, microwave, oven, or freezer safe. Due to the delicate nature of the faience and the relief decoration, we recommend hand washing only to preserve the finish.
The plate measures 9.75 inches in diameter. While it is categorized as a luncheon or salad plate, its generous size makes it well-suited for light lunches, appetizers, or dessert courses.
The raised pinecone and poinsettia relief is protected by a glassy, transparent glaze, which helps prevent food from sticking. However, because of the texture, it is best to hand wash it gently with a soft sponge.
The plate features a transparent glaze with a subtle green hue. This allows the sculpted details of the faience to show through, creating depth and a soft, elegant appearance on your table.
