Know before you buy
No, this plate is not dishwasher, microwave, oven, or freezer safe. Due to the intricate gold detailing and the high-fire cobalt finish, we recommend hand washing only to preserve the integrity of the pattern.
This piece measures 13 inches in diameter and is specifically designed as a charger plate. While it is a substantial size, it is intended to sit beneath a dinner plate to frame your place setting rather than serve as the primary plate for eating.
While the porcelain construction is high quality, this plate is not chip-resistant and is intended for formal occasions rather than everyday use. Its delicate gold accents and complex 27-color design are best preserved when reserved for special events.
Yes, because the plates are not stackable, you should store them carefully to avoid scratching the surface or damaging the gold detailing. We recommend using plate dividers or felt protectors between each piece if you are storing them in a cabinet.
The Tobacco Leaf pattern is a sophisticated interpretation of an 18th-century Chinese design. It is widely considered the most iconic and recognized version of the style, blending historical artistry with a modern, bold aesthetic.
