Know before you buy
This set includes one dinner plate (10 inches), one dessert plate (8 inches), one tea cup, and one saucer (5.25 inches).
No, this set is not dishwasher or microwave safe. Because of the hand-painted designs and gold detailing, we recommend hand washing these pieces gently to preserve their finish.
While the design is durable, the delicate nature of the hand-painted finish and gold accents makes this set better suited for special occasions or formal dining rather than heavy, daily use.
No, these pieces are not oven safe. They should not be used for heating or cooking food.
Yes, this specific pattern is not certified lead-free or cadmium-free, which is common for certain decorative ceramic finishes.
Because the pieces are not designed to be stacked, we recommend using plate dividers or felt separators between each item if you are storing them in a cabinet to prevent scratching the glossy finish.
